feat(platform): update OpenAI calls to use responses.create for reasoning models

Adds conditional support for OpenAI's Responses API for reasoning models
(o1, o3, etc.) that are incompatible with chat.completions.create.

Changes:
- Add openai_responses.py helper module with:
  - requires_responses_api() for model detection (exact matching)
  - convert_tools_to_responses_format() for tool format conversion
  - extract_responses_tool_calls() for tool call extraction
  - extract_usage() for normalized token usage
  - extract_responses_content() for content extraction
  - extract_responses_reasoning() for reasoning extraction
- Update llm.py OpenAI provider to conditionally use responses.create
  for reasoning models while keeping chat.completions.create for others
- Add unit tests for helper functions

Resolves: #11624
Linear: OPEN-2911
