feat: allow an empty API key for unauthenticated endpoints

The OpenAI SDK rejects api_key=None, so all three client sites now
fall back to a PLACEHOLDER_API_KEY ("not-required") when the entry has
no key, letting an unauthenticated LiteLLM/proxy endpoint be configured
with the API key field left blank.
