Dmytro Struk 2dd731f90f Python: Fixed middleware and multimodal input samples (#4022)
* Fix streaming branch in weather override middleware sample

The streaming branch of weather_override_middleware only prefixed the
original weather data via a transform hook instead of replacing the
content with the 'perfect weather' override like the non-streaming
branch does. Replace with a new ResponseStream that yields the override
content as ChatResponseUpdate chunks.

Exception Handling with MiddlewareTypes
This sample demonstrates how to use middleware for centralized exception handling in function calls.
The example shows:
- How to catch exceptions thrown by functions and provide graceful error responses
- Overriding function results when errors occur to provide user-friendly messages
- Using middleware to implement retry logic, fallback mechanisms, or error reporting
The middleware catches TimeoutError from an unstable data service and replaces it with
a helpful message for the user, preventing raw exceptions from reaching the end user.
