📸 feat: Gemini vision, Improved Logs and Multi-modal Handling (#1368)

* feat: add GOOGLE_MODELS env var * feat: add gemini vision support * refactor(GoogleClient): adjust clientOptions handling depending on model * fix(logger): fix redact logic and redact errors only * fix(GoogleClient): do not allow non-multiModal messages when gemini-pro-vision is selected * refactor(OpenAIClient): use `isVisionModel` client property to avoid calling validateVisionModel multiple times * refactor: better debug logging by correctly traversing, redacting sensitive info, and logging condensed versions of long values * refactor(GoogleClient): allow response errors to be thrown/caught above client handling so user receives meaningful error message debug orderedMessages, parentMessageId, and buildMessages result * refactor(AskController): use model from client.modelOptions.model when saving intermediate messages, which requires for the progress callback to be initialized after the client is initialized * feat(useSSE): revert to previous model if the model was auto-switched by backend due to message attachments * docs: update with google updates, notes about Gemini Pro Vision * fix: redis should not be initialized without USE_REDIS and increase max listeners to 20
