Runnable lambdas

The RunnableLambda class is a crucial component in a hybrid retrieval chain. Before you use it to execute a vector retriever, let's first practice using it to convert a Python function into an LCEL runnable.

The user-defined reverse() function takes a string and returns it in reverse order. Update the code to return the input string in reverse.
