Adopt the settings pattern for Grok Realtime session properties

Move `session_properties` into `GrokRealtimeLLMSettings`, making `settings` the canonical way to configure Grok Realtime — matching the pattern used across the rest of the codebase. The `session_properties` init arg is now deprecated in favor of `settings=GrokRealtimeLLMSettings(session_properties=...)`.

`system_instruction` is synced bidirectionally between the top-level settings field and `session_properties.instructions`, with top-level taking precedence on conflict. (Unlike OpenAI Realtime, Grok's `SessionProperties` has no `model` field, so no model sync is needed.)
