OpenAI: prompt_cache_options is no longer accepted

OpenAI's published API specification no longer includes the prompt_cache_options field on CreateModelResponseProperties, affecting two OpenAI operations, according to an API-change report. The field is now ignored rather than rejected, so calls that still send prompt_cache_options succeed but behave differently, and the report advises developers to grep their code for the parameter. BetaCreateModelResponseProperties.prompt_cache_options was also removed.
