fix: add default values to Literal type fields in content types

Content types like TextContent and ImageContent have single-value Literal type
fields (e.g., type: Literal["text"]) that now default automatically so users
don't have to pass them explicitly.

Before: TextContent(type="text", text="hello")
After: TextContent(text="hello")
