LLM tool 0.32.1 patches broken installs caused by OpenAI dropping httpx dependency

Simon Willison's LLM CLI tool broke for fresh installs after the OpenAI Python library removed its httpx dependency, which LLM had been relying on transitively. Version 0.32.1 pins to openai<3 as a stopgap, with a proper fix coming in 0.33 that migrates to httpx2. This is a minor maintenance release with no broader AI industry signal.
