Summary

Add LiteLLM as a built-in provider, giving users access to 100+ LLM providers (Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, Vertex, Groq, Ollama, etc.) through a single OpenAI-compatible proxy.

LiteLLM proxy runs locally and translates requests to any supported provider's native format. Since it speaks OpenAI protocol, it reuses the existing OPENAI_CHAT transport with zero new transport code.

Changes:

• src/row_bot/providers/catalog.py - added litellm ProviderDefinition (base_url: http://localhost:4000/v1, transport: OPENAI_CHAT)
• src/row_bot/providers/runtime.py - added litellm to configured provider list
• tests/test_litellm_provider.py - 3 unit tests
