add response_mime_type for gemini models (allow JSON-mode output, optionally)

[nicsuzor]

Minor change to optionally add response_mime_type to generation_config. Note this is a preview feature in the Vertex API available for gemini-1.5-pro: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/gemini#parameters

Fulfills #144.

Thanks for your contribution!

response_mime_type was already supported and passed as part as kwargs:

langchain-google/libs/vertexai/langchain_google_vertexai/chat_models.py

Line 122 in d4dcff3

"response_mime_type",

if you feel like we should also allow to setup its default value during model initialization, I'd suggest to redefine the _default_params property (by adding response_mime_type to super()._default_params).

So that similar things are defined at similar place, and the logic not being spread all over the code base. WDYT?

Sure thing, I've updated that now.

@nicsuzor could you finalize it, please?

@lkuligin Yup, edited accordingly.
