Deepseek model does not return reasoning when hosted on openrouter
(Issue [30067](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/30067))
the following code did not return reasoning:
```python
llm = ChatDeepSeek( model = 'deepseek/deepseek-r1:nitro', api_base="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY"))
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are an assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "9.11 and 9.8, which is greater? Explain the reasoning behind this decision."}
]
response = llm.invoke(messages, extra_body={"include_reasoning": True})
print(response.content)
print(f"REASONING: {response.additional_kwargs.get('reasoning_content', '')}")
print(response)
```
The fix is to extract reasoning from
response.choices[0].message["model_extra"] and from
choices[0].delta["reasoning"]. and place in response additional_kwargs.
Change is really just the addition of a couple one-sentence if
statements.

The Deepseek is using langchain_openai. The error happens that it show
`json decode error`.
I added a handler for this to give a more sensible error message which
is DeepSeek API returned empty/invalid json.
Reproducing the issue is a bit challenging as it is inconsistent,
sometimes DeepSeek returns valid data and in other times it returns
invalid data which triggers the JSON Decode Error.
This PR is an exception handling, but not an ultimate fix for the issue.

1. Make `_convert_chunk_to_generation_chunk` an instance method on
BaseChatOpenAI
2. Override on ChatDeepSeek to add `"reasoning_content"` to message
additional_kwargs.
