Pull request overview
This PR removes the Microsoft.Extensions.AI.AzureAIInference library and all its related code, following Microsoft's recommendation that Azure.AI.Inference is no longer the recommended approach. The library has not been actively developed since there have been no changes in the underlying Azure.AI.Inference library to react to.
Key Changes:
- Complete removal of the AzureAIInference integration library source code
- Removal of all associated test files and test infrastructure
- Removal of documentation (README.md, CHANGELOG.md)
- Removal of the Azure.AI.Inference package dependency from the repository

The PR is clean and comprehensive - it removes all traces of the AzureAIInference integration without leaving orphaned references. All deleted files are properly removed as complete files (entire content deleted), which is the appropriate approach for deprecating an entire library.

Azure.AI.Inference is no longer recommended, e.g. see the "Important" notice at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/foundry-models/supported-languages. We haven't been making any changes to the wrapper, since there hasn't been any changes in the underlying library to react to, and we don't need to continue maintaining the source for the wrapper.
