Research direction

Start with src/SmartComponents.Inference/IInferenceBackend.cs and trace its references across the repository, then inspect the SmartComponents.Inference.OpenAI project. The work is done when IInferenceBackend is replaced by IChatClient, the OpenAI project can be removed, and the existing components work with supported IChatClient backends.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Now that Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Abstractions is published, we should replace IInferenceBackend with IChatClient. This should also allow us to remove SmartComponents.Inference.OpenAI completely, as the code here would instantly work with any LLM backend that has a corresponding IChatClient.
