Description
While working on https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/1524 I hit: generate_content_stream only exposes the generator, so cancelling it from another task while we're iterating raises `RuntimeError`: `aclose(): asynchronous generator is already running`.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A transport handler we could close with or cancel with would be great
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
There are some things we could do to maybe mimic this but given that most SDKs have this it would be nice if `genai` did too
**Additional context**
I have just added a small warning for now.
