ellmer 0.2.0

ellmer 0.2.0 lands with a swag of upgrades: Garrick Aden‑Buie joins the team, we make a couple of breaking changes, and add serious scale with `parallel_chat()` and `batch_chat()`. A new `params()` helper standardises model settings across providers and chats now report how much they cost. The release also tidies `chat_*` names, bumps default models and adds Hugging Face, Mistral AI, and Portkey connectors
