Feature: add Partner Setting - allow to use Partner OpenAI api key for clients as default OpenAI api key

## New Partner Feature

### Partner Setting — Use Partner OpenAI API Key as Default for Clients

Partners can now configure their own **OpenAI API key** in Whitelabel Settings and set it as the default OpenAI key used across all client workspaces — eliminating the need for each client to supply their own key.

#### What's New
- 🔑 **New Partner Setting: OpenAI** — found under Whitelabel Settings alongside xAI and Groq partner key settings
- 🔄 Toggle **Enabled/Disabled** to activate the partner key as the default for all client workspaces
- 🛠 **Manage API Key** button — add, update, or rotate the Partner OpenAI API key at any time
- 🤖 When enabled, all client workspaces use the partner's OpenAI key by default — clients don't need to configure their own
- 📦 Part of a unified AI provider key management section in Whitelabel Settings covering **OpenAI**, **xAI**, and **Groq**

#### How to Use
1. Go to **Whitelabel Settings** in the left sidebar
2. Scroll to the **OpenAI** section (highlighted in the settings panel)
3. Toggle the switch to **Enabled**
4. Click **Manage API Key** to enter your OpenAI API key
5. All client workspaces will now use your partner OpenAI key as their default — no per-client key setup required
