community: update perplexity docstring (#30451)

This pull request includes extensive documentation updates for the
`ChatPerplexity` class in the
`libs/community/langchain_community/chat_models/perplexity.py` file. The
changes provide detailed setup instructions, key initialization
arguments, and usage examples for various functionalities of the
`ChatPerplexity` class.

Documentation improvements:

* Added setup instructions for installing the `openai` package and
setting the `PPLX_API_KEY` environment variable.
* Documented key initialization arguments for completion parameters and
client parameters, including `model`, `temperature`, `max_tokens`,
`streaming`, `pplx_api_key`, `request_timeout`, and `max_retries`.
* Provided examples for instantiating the `ChatPerplexity` class,
invoking it with messages, using structured output, invoking with
perplexity-specific parameters, streaming responses, and accessing token
usage and response metadata.Thank you for contributing to LangChain!
