```
language_models: Treat a `block_reason` from Gemini as a refusal (#38670)

This PR updates the Gemini provider to treat a
`prompt_feedback.block_reason` as a refusal, as Gemini does not seem to
return a `stop_reason` to use in this case.

Previously this would just result in no feedback to the user.

Release Notes:

- Added an error message when a Gemini response contains a
`block_reason`.
```
