Refactors components to access stores directly instead of using exported getter functions.

This change centralizes store access and logic, simplifying component code and improving maintainability by reducing the number of exported functions and promoting direct store interaction.

Removes exported getter functions from `chat.svelte.ts`, `conversations.svelte.ts`, `models.svelte.ts` and `settings.svelte.ts`.
