feat(network): SSE optimization for local LLM streaming (#31 #32 #33)

Addresses three critical network issues for LLM streaming performance: **#33 Disable proxy buffering for SSE** - Add X-Accel-Buffering: no header to response - Tells nginx/Ingress to stream events immediately instead of buffering - Paired with ResponseController.Flush() for unbuffered token delivery **#32 HTTP/2 multiplexing for concurrent streams** - Enable HTTP/2 in server config via http2.ConfigureServer() - Increase MaxConnsPerHost from default (2) to 10 - ForceAttemptHTTP2 on outbound Transport for upstream connections - Allows multiple concurrent LLM requests without blocking **#31 TCP backpressure for streaming LLM responses** - Set TCP_NODELAY on dialer to disable Nagle's algorithm - Reduces latency by sending small packets immediately - Critical for low TTFT (time-to-first-token) under load - Upstream Transport respects backpressure when clients read slowly **Tests added:** - TestTCPBackpressure: Verifies TCP backpressure handling with slow client - TestConcurrentSSEStreams: Confirms HTTP/2 multiplexing works correctly - Both pass at 0.11s and 0.06s respectively Fixes all three streaming performance issues in one coherent change.
