Optimize GCS bucket logging with true payload batching and bounded queue

- Implement true payload batching: combine multiple logs into single NDJSON object
  - Reduces API calls from N per batch to 1 per batch
  - Dramatically improves throughput and reduces latency
  - Uses newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON) format for standard log processing

- Add bounded queue to prevent OOM
  - Queue maxsize defaults to 10x batch_size (configurable via GCS_QUEUE_MAXSIZE)
  - Provides backpressure when queue is full
  - Warns when queue exceeds 80% capacity

- Update object naming for batched logs
  - Format: {date}/batch-{timestamp}-{uuid}.ndjson
  - Maintains backward compatibility with existing structure

- Add observability improvements
  - Queue size warnings when approaching capacity
  - Enhanced print statements for batch processing
  - Better error handling for batch uploads

This addresses performance issues where queue size grew to 2500+ items
by reducing upload overhead from N sequential requests to 1 batched request.
