llm: fix OpenAI o1 model support and improve test framework

- Fix o1 models stream_options error by only including stream_options when streaming is enabled
- Fix o1 models system role error by omitting system messages entirely (o1 models don't support system roles)
- Update tests to use USE_NEWER_LC_IMPL flag to switch between legacy and unified LangChain implementations
- Export USE_NEWER_LC_IMPL flag for test usage
- All 22 LLM tests now pass including both o1 and o1-mini models
