…shut down in their API (#13271) ## Background xAI has shut down the Grok 2 models (`grok-2-vision-1212`, `grok-2-vision`, `grok-2-vision-latest`, `grok-2-image`, `grok-2-image-1212`, `grok-2-image-latest`) in their API. Keeping these model IDs in the SDK causes confusion and sets users up for API errors. While #13016 only mentions a few of them, they are in fact all shut down, which I verified - some of them were only aliases in our codebase anyway. Also see https://github.com/vercel-labs/provider-models-monitor/blob/main/provider-models/xai.json for reference - no more Grok 2 entirely. ## Summary - Removes all Grok 2 model IDs from `XaiChatModelId` and `XaiImageModelId`, and updates all examples, docs, and tests that referenced them to use their Grok 3 / `grok-imagine-image` successors instead. - Removes `xai/grok-2-vision` from the gateway model ID list. cc @shaper ## Manual Verification N/A ## Checklist - [x] Tests have been added / updated (for bug fixes / features) - [x] Documentation has been added / updated (for bug fixes / features) - [x] A _patch_ changeset for relevant packages has been added (for bug fixes / features - run `pnpm changeset` in the project root) - [x] I have reviewed this pull request (self-review) ## Future Work N/A ## Related Issues Fixes #13016
