[ENG-3953] Support pydantic BaseModel (v1 and v2) as state var (#4338)

* [ENG-3953] Support pydantic BaseModel (v1 and v2) as state var

Provide serializers and mutable proxy tracking for pydantic models directly.

* conditionally define v2 serializer

Co-authored-by: Khaleel Al-Adhami <[email protected]>

* Add `MutableProxy._is_mutable_value` to avoid duplicate logic

* Conditionally import BaseModel to handle older pydantic v1 versions

* pre-commit fu
