llm 0.36

The release of llm 0.36 introduces new OpenAI models gpt-6-sol and gpt-6-luna, and adds support for model plugins to declare that they do not support conversations via supports_conversation = False.

Additional changes include wrapping reasoning traces in Markdown output with <details> tags and bug fixes from five contributors.
