Add HLI bundle with EnhancedHLIInterpreter and shared Card/Component model

[Artur-Fedjukevits]

As discussed in the ChatGPT PR this PR introduces a new bundle org.openhab.core.hli for Human Language Interpreters. It defines the new EnhancedHLIInterpreter interface, extending the existing HumanLanguageInterpreter with support for structured replies (ChatReply and Card).

Additionally, the following classes have been moved from HABot into this new bundle as plain model classes so they can be reused across add-ons:

• Card
• Component
• Intent
• CardProvider
• CardRegistry

This allows add-ons like HABot and ChatGPT HLI to share the same core definitions without creating cross-dependencies.

I’ve compiled a test distro including the new org.openhab.core.hli bundle. You can use it to test the Core changes locally. Just add there compiled habot and chatgpt

Hi all,
