Enhance response model inference and add edge case tests

- Updated the `infer_response_model_from_ast` function to use `textwrap.dedent` for cleaner source code handling.
- Added multiple test cases in `tests/test_ast_inference.py` to cover various edge cases for response model inference, including functions with different return types and argument annotations.
- Improved type inference for functions returning lists and nested dictionaries, ensuring better schema generation.
