Issue body

Mistral AI models can be added to the list here: https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/fbdd89b46bf3883efe8b0e0838370b9d74561ee7/python/packages/autogen-ext/src/autogen_ext/models/openai/_model_info.py

And the base_url should automatically be set if the model matches a Mistral AI model. API key should be detected from the environment. Use the support for Gemini model as a reference.

PR should address: https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/issues/6147

Research direction
The issue asks to add Mistral AI model support to the OpenAIChatCompletionClient by modifying the ` model info.py` file at `python/packages/autogen ext/src/autogen ext/models/openai/ model info.py`. Use the existing Gemini support as a reference for how to add the model list, set the `base url` automatically, and detect the API key from the environment. The PR should address issue #6147. No additional files or comments are provided, but the solution should mimic the pattern used for Gemini models.
