Description
### Problem Statement
When editing the last sent prompt in a chat flow, the interface should support all input modes present in the main prompt bar, specifically media attachments (photos/files) and microphone/voice dictation.
Currently, users can only edit text strings, requiring them to delete or rewrite messages from scratch if they forget to attach a photo or want to correct a prompt using voice input.
### Proposed Solution
In `python-genai`, `ChatSession` should provide a native method to update the last prompt with text, media, or audio/voice inputs and regenerate the response.
### Example API Usage
```python
chat = client.chats.create(model="gemini-2.5-flash")
chat.send_message("Initial text prompt")
# Easily update the last prompt with full input options
chat.update_last_prompt(
text="Updated prompt text",
image=pil_image, # Support for photos/files
audio=audio_bytes # Support for voice/dictation
)
response = chat.regenerate_last_turn()
