docs(core): fix bugs and improve example code in chat_history.py (#32994)

## Summary

This PR fixes several bugs and improves the example code in
`BaseChatMessageHistory` docstring that would prevent it from working
correctly.

### Bugs Fixed
- **Critical bug**: Fixed `json.dump(messages, f)` →
`json.dump(serialized, f)` - was using wrong variable
- **NameError**: Fixed bare variable references to use
`self.storage_path` and `self.session_id`
- **Missing imports**: Added required imports (`json`, `os`, message
converters) to make example runnable

### Improvements
- Added missing type hints following project standards (`messages() ->
list[BaseMessage]`, `clear() -> None`)
- Added robust error handling with `FileNotFoundError` exception
handling
- Added directory creation with `os.makedirs(exist_ok=True)` to prevent
path errors
- Improved performance: `json.load(f)` instead of `json.loads(f.read())`
- Added explicit UTF-8 encoding to all file operations
- Updated stores.py to use modern union syntax (`int | None` vs
`Optional[int]`)

### Test Plan
- [x] Code passes linting (`ruff check`)
- [x] Example code now has all required imports and proper syntax
- [x] Fixed variable references prevent runtime errors
- [x] Follows project's type annotation standards

The example code in the docstring is now fully functional and follows
LangChain's coding standards.
