Omit redundant information in chat completion message params

Confirm this is a feature request for the Python library and not the underlying OpenAI API.

This is a feature request for the Python library

Describe the feature or improvement you're requesting

Currently, classes like ChatCompletionSystemMessageParam require a parameter of type Required[Literal['system']].

The class name already contains this required role, so this param is simply redundant information while not allowing any different values.

Suggestion: This parameter should be made optional with the required literal as default value for backwards compatibility or even completely omitted.

Thanks for the suggestion. This wouldn't work when people provide raw dictionaries, like {'role': 'system', …}, but we do have related ideas to make this more convenient. Stay tuned.
