Feat: Implement Input/Output Guardrails for LLM Integration
**Description:**
Need to implement two guardrails for the LLM model to ensure safety, quality, and compliance of interactions:

1. Input Guardrail: validation and filtering of incoming requests
2. Output Guardrail: validation and filtering of generated responses

**Acceptance Criteria:**

1. Input guardrail implemented and tested
2. Output guardrail implemented and tested
3. Unit tests with coverage > 80%
6. Easily customizable configuration

Discussion:

Awesome to see you here! Super happy to have you as a contributor 🚀 
Go ahead and dive in.
If you’ve got any questions, I’m right here 😄 @gianfrancodemarco: Hi @mariocandela,

I was thinking about doing it this way.
Add 4 new configs under the `Plugin` struct:
- `InputValidationEnabled` (bool) [default: false]
- `InputValidationPrompt` (bool) [default: a sensible prompt
- `OutputValidationEnabled` (bool) [default: false]
- `OutputValidationEnabled` (bool)[default: a sensible prompt] 

These should be passed down to `LLMHonepot`.
Then I would change the `ExecuteModel` to something similar to this:
```
if InputValidationEnabled {
  ExecuteInputGuardrail(...)
}

// current ExecuteModel logic

if InputValidationEnabled {
  ExecuteOutputGuardrail(...)
}
```

Also, we should decide what to do if either check fails.
I think the guardrail message should probably be configurable too (even if this adds 2 more configurations yet).
Calling the LLM again on a failed Guardrail would incur additional latency and result in inconsistent responses.


What do you think?
@mariocandela: Hi @gianfrancodemarco,

I like your solution, and I would also add the parameters to handle the error message in case of a KO on the guardrails side. 

Well done, great analysis 💪 

@bryannolen what do you think about this feature? Do you have any suggestions? 😄 

Thanks all for your time 🖤
