Add support for adaptive thinking and effort parameter (Claude 4.6)

Claude Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 introduce adaptive thinking (thinking: {type: "adaptive"}) as the recommended thinking mode. The current ThinkingParameters class only supports the now-deprecated type: "enabled" with
budget_tokens.

What's needed

Adaptive thinking type — A Type property on ThinkingParameters to support "adaptive" where Claude dynamically decides when and how much to
think:

{"thinking": {"type": "adaptive"}}

Effort parameter — A new top-level effort parameter (low, medium, high, max) to control thinking depth. Now GA, no beta header required:

{"thinking": {"type": "adaptive"}, "effort": "medium"}

IChatClient extensions — e.g. options.WithAdaptiveThinking() and options.WithAdaptiveThinking(ThinkingEffort.Medium)

I think we already support this: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-csharp/blob/main/src/Anthropic/Models/Messages/ThinkingConfigAdaptive.cs

Or do you mean with IChatClient specifically?
