Refactor Ollama API to use ThinkMode enum for "think" parameter

- Addresses #231
- Updated Ollama class and related methods to replace boolean "think" with ThinkMode enum for better clarity and control over thinking levels.
- Modified MetricsRecorder to accept ThinkMode instead of boolean for metrics recording.
- Adjusted OllamaChatRequest and OllamaGenerateRequest to utilize ThinkMode, including serialization support.
- Updated integration and unit tests to reflect changes in the "think" parameter handling.
- Introduced ThinkMode and ThinkModeSerializer classes to manage the new thinking parameter structure.
