 AI: Add the WordPress AI Client.

 The WordPress AI Client is a provider-agnostic API for WordPress code to
 call generative AI models via a consistent interface. Plugins and Core can
 use it to provide AI driven features for users, while users maintain full
 autonomy in choosing which AI provider(s) they want to rely on and how
 they configure them.

 This changeset merges the technical foundation for the WordPress AI Client
 into Core. This foundation was originally implemented in the
 https://github.com/WordPress/wp-ai-client package, which will be sunset
 going forward. The underlying https://github.com/WordPress/php-ai-client
 package is bundled with this changeset and will remain a separate library
 maintained by the WordPress project, for WordPress Core and the PHP
 ecosystem.

 No AI providers are bundled out of the box. Without explicit configuration
 and explicit calling code, WordPress will not send prompts or data to any
 external service. Site owners will be able to install plugins to enable
 usage of specific AI providers, built on top of this foundation.

 This is the first changeset of two that are most relevant for the AI
 Client feature. The subsequent change will introduce a configuration
 screen for different AI providers, where users can install provider
 plugins, configure their credentials, and enable the canonical WordPress
 AI plugin. Together, this infrastructure and UI will enable the WordPress
 ecosystem to build AI features in a seamless and interoperable way.
