fix: enhance Azure model stop word support detection

- Updated the `supports_stop_words` method to accurately reflect support for stop sequences based on model type, specifically excluding GPT-5 and O-series models.
- Added comprehensive tests to verify that GPT-5 family and O-series models do not support stop words, ensuring correct behavior in completion parameter preparation.
- Ensured that stop words are not included in parameters for unsupported models while maintaining expected behavior for supported models.
