Paul Kompfner b14a03d01f fix: extend cancel_on_interruption=False regression fix to remaining realtime services
Applies the same async-tool message routing introduced for AWSNovaSonicLLMService
and OpenAIRealtimeLLMService to additional realtime LLM services where the
flag's intent ("keep talking while the tool runs") is achievable:

- GrokRealtimeLLMService (xAI Realtime — also benefits the deprecated Grok
  alias since it re-exports the xAI module)
- AzureRealtimeLLMService picks up the fix transitively by inheriting from
  OpenAIRealtimeLLMService — no code change needed.

GrokRealtimeLLMService's _process_completed_function_calls now matches
the canonical pattern: skip LLMSpecificMessage, detect async-tool messages
via parse_message and route them — started skipped silently, intermediate
logged as an error and surfaced via push_error, final delivered through
the same channel as a synchronous result.

UltravoxRealtimeLLMService instead gets a one-time warning when async-tool
messages appear in the context. The Ultravox API freezes the conversation
during tool execution
(https://docs.ultravox.ai/tools/async-tools#custom-tool-timeouts), so the
flag's "keep talking while the tool runs" intent isn't achievable there —
applying the same code pattern would mislead users into expecting a UX
Ultravox can't deliver. Surfacing a clear warning is the right behavior
until Ultravox grows true async tool support.

Adds async-tool example files for Grok and Azure modeled on the existing
Nova Sonic / OpenAI Realtime ones (10s simulated network delay, weather
tool registered with cancel_on_interruption=False).

Two services remain excluded:

- GeminiLiveLLMService — the async-tool path needs deeper investigation.
- InworldRealtimeLLMService — appears to have a pre-existing problem
  with even simple synchronous tool calling on its Realtime API (the
  request reaches the server fine, but response generation fails with a
  generic server_error).

"""Example: async function call with the Grok Realtime LLM service.
The ``get_current_weather`` tool is registered with
``cancel_on_interruption=False`` and simulates a slow API call (10s sleep).
While the call is in flight the conversation continues; the result arrives
later via the async-tool mechanism and is forwarded to Grok Realtime as a
``function_call_output`` so the model can integrate it naturally into its
next turn.
