Update load_image function to handle BytesIO input

[gabewillen]

The load_image function in mlx_vlm/utils.py is now updated to accept input as BytesIO representing base64 encoded images. This enhances the loading process by accommodating another type of input. Appropriate error handling has been added for potential IO errors.

Hey @gabewillen

Thanks for the great addition!

Before I merge, could you run pre-commit to clear the tests?

Absolutely I got ahead of myself on the PR. Apologies I was in the process of following your CONTRIBUTION.md before you commented. It should be good to go now.

Not right now but I plan to use this library for a fun project with my kids. Any additions I make I'll be glad to contribute. Excellent work on the library!

It will be available on the next release.

I don't have a personal one but I do have one for a project I'm working on https://x.com/StateforwardOrg

I also have a tool I'm getting ready to release that builds dependency graphs of libraries and autogenerates mkdoc compatible documentation using OpenAI. if you'd be interested I can run it on your project. It works really well.

It injects the documentation without modifying any of the code
