fix(proxy): return upstream error bodies unchanged in passthrough

Generic pass-through endpoints called raise_for_status() on upstream 4xx/5xx
responses and re-raised as HTTPException, which the outer handler reshaped
into a ProxyException with the upstream body stringified into error.message.
Success responses were already forwarded as-is, so failures were the only
case where passthrough wasn't actually transparent. Removes the
raise_for_status() calls for both streaming and non-streaming passthrough so
upstream status, body, and headers reach the client unchanged, while keeping
guardrails/managed-id rewriting scoped to successful responses and leaving
internal proxy failures (auth, config, network errors before any upstream
response) on the existing ProxyException path.
