Fix Duo Chat messages being saved twice

Alejandro Rodríguez requested to merge fix-duplicate-chat-message-save into master

What does this MR do and why?

We support two response handling workflows. The default response handler is always executed, and then there's an optional streaming response handler. Both of them currently save the Chat message, which results in duplicated messages in our Chat storage. To address this, we introduce a new toggle, and only save the message on the default response handler, and skip it on the streaming one
