Enable multi-turn KV cache reuse#64

Conversation
The engine's implicit prefix caching (TokenHistory.resolve) already handles all cases: same prefix reuse, divergence rewinding, and full re-processing. Removing the unconditional reset() lets the KV cache persist across turns, saving re-prefill of the shared conversation history (~1-3s per turn for typical conversations).

Multi-turn test with 2 prompts through
LanguageModelSession:~20% improvement on prompt 2, scaling with conversation length (longer shared prefix = more prefill skipped).
Pipelined and sequential engines produce identical output with cache reuse enabled.
