feat: implement Top-K sampling for improved user control (#1110)

This commit adds Top-K sampling, a feature that allows users to control
the randomness of the generated text by specifying the number of most
probable next words considered by the model. This enhances user control
and potentially improves the quality of the generated outputs.

Fixes: https://github.com/k8sgpt-ai/k8sgpt/issues/1105
