Aider v0.57.0: OpenAI o1 model support

Aider adds support for OpenAI's o1-preview and o1-mini via --model, with the release notes reporting o1-preview works well with the diff edit format and matches the project's SOTA leaderboard result when used with the whole edit format. Also fixes /run shell selection on Windows and adds recursive directory support to /read-only.
