Pull request: [gemma3] support sequence classification task

# What does this PR do?

As per title, we can't copy from llama or any other LLM because Gemma3 needs to obtain `text_config` params and needs to pass extra vision kwargs in `forward`. Thus the code was adapted from llama and the tests are green

Fixes https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/36755
