Mason Daugherty d3eb2296e7 fix(core): avoid dict shadowing in language models (#38480)
Fixes #37835

---

When Pydantic collects fields for a `BaseLanguageModel` subclass that
defines a `dict()` method, inherited annotations can resolve `dict`
against the subclass namespace instead of the builtin. With Pydantic
2.14.0a1 this caused `BaseLanguageModel.metadata: dict[str, Any] | None`
to fail during rebuild/import with `'function' object is not
subscriptable`.

This qualifies the inherited `metadata` field annotation as
`builtins.dict[...]`, matching the existing pattern in chat models, and
documents why the runtime import cannot move behind `TYPE_CHECKING`. It
also adds a regression test that rebuilds a `BaseLanguageModel` subclass
with a `dict()` method so core catches this failure before partner
packages hit it at import time.

Related to #37924, which hardens `_create_subset_model_v2`; this PR
fixes the `BaseLanguageModel` class-construction failure directly.
