Support streaming LLM response

[mekkiamiri]

Currently, the prompt runner call is blocking:
For example: String response = this.ai.withLlm(options).generateText(prompt);
So for long time running prompts, call fails with timeout.
It is very helpful to stream response like python frameworks(crewAI for example). If we can have something like:
Flux<String> response = this.ai.withLlm(options).streamText(prompt);

I was coming here to ask the same thing. I guess Embabel doesn't support streaming token responses because its focus is not not chat?
