New Features

• Introduced --llm CLI flag to select LLM provider.
• Applied Strategy Pattern for LLM integration (extensible design).
• Refactored code to support clean API/CLI usage with insert_into_llm and llm_provider options.

Example: CLI Usage

markitdown document.docx --output-dir ./markdowns --llm claude

Example: Convert an Entire Folder via API
