Subject: [PATCH] fix(openai): move image detail property inside image_url
 object

- Fix MessageContentImageDetail type in type.ts to place 'detail' inside image_url object
- Add test cases for image detail formatting
- Resolves #2221 where detail property was in wrong location causing OpenAI 400 errors

The 'detail' property was incorrectly placed at the top level instead of inside the image_url object, which caused OpenAI API to return 400 errors. This change aligns with OpenAI's expected format where detail is nested inside image_url.
