Rebase PR #898: Add gemini provider support and PGAI_MAX_CHUNKS_PER_BATCH env var

[Copilot]

Rebases NickCrews/pgai#898 onto current main, incorporating upstream changes from timescale#884 and timescale#901 (PostgreSQL 18 support).

Changes

• Gemini provider support: Add gemini case with 250 max chunks per batch per Vertex AI quotas
• Environment variable override: Introduce PGAI_MAX_CHUNKS_PER_BATCH to bypass provider-specific defaults
• Improved fallback messaging: Display actual fallback value in warning for unknown providers

Enhancements over original PR

• Type correctness: Convert env var from str to int (original returned string)
• Input validation: Reject non-numeric or non-positive values with warnings

# Environment variable usage
export PGAI_MAX_CHUNKS_PER_BATCH=100

# Invalid values gracefully fall back to provider defaults
export PGAI_MAX_CHUNKS_PER_BATCH=-5    # Warning: must be positive
export PGAI_MAX_CHUNKS_PER_BATCH=abc   # Warning: must be valid integer
