Description

Expected Behavior
Currently, many model providers offer reason models, and users choose whether to use them depending on the specific use case. Spring AI needs to improve its support for reason models. add reasoningContent to AssistantMessage

public class AssistantMessage extends AbstractMessage implements MediaContent {

	private final List<ToolCall> toolCalls;

	protected final List<Media> media;
        private String reasoningContent 
        // other codes        
       ...

Current Behavior
At present, supporting reason models requires adapting to different model vendors. This makes it difficult to standardize and unify reasoning messages, and also results in relatively high adaptation costs.
