Include choices param for non-editable fields

[ticosax]

The choices param can be usefull to populate list of possible values and to instantiate a ChoiceField on the serializer, even when the field is non_editable.

Relevant for the live doc and the OpenAPI integration.

Description

The fix consist into moving the choices kwargs populating step, before the early return for non_editable fields.
just before:

 if isinstance(model_field, models.AutoField) or not model_field.editable:
     kwargs['read_only'] = True
     return kwargs

Please disregard my approval (I can't undo it apparently) I thought I was working on another repo.

Pull request overview

This PR ensures choices are included in generated serializer field kwargs even when the underlying Django model field is non-editable/read-only, enabling better OpenAPI/live-doc output (and consistent ChoiceField instantiation).

Changes:

• Populate choices in get_field_kwargs() before the early return for non-editable fields.
• Add a non-editable choice model field and a regression test to confirm it maps to a ChoiceField.

Looks good to me. Going to leave it open for a few more days to give it time to gather more feedback before merging
