core[patch]: Improve RunnableWithMessageHistory init arg types (#31639)

`Runnable`'s `Input` is contravariant so we need to enumerate all
possible inputs and it's not possible to put them in a `Union`.
Also, it's better to only require a runnable that
accepts`list[BaseMessage]` instead of a broader `Sequence[BaseMessage]`
as internally the runnable is only called with a list.
