fix: address remaining review feedback on Pub/Sub tests and handlers

1. Convert Vertex contents format to OpenAI message format:
   Vertex AI contents ({parts, role}) are now converted to OpenAI
   format ({role, content}) before storing in kwargs["messages"],
   preventing format mismatch for downstream consumers.

2. Fix JSON Schema inconsistency:
   Added custom_llm_provider to required array since it already
   has minLength: 1 constraint.

3. Replace sleep(3) with bounded polling:
   All integration tests now use wait_for_flush() helper with
   100ms polling instead of fixed 3-second sleeps. Cuts test
   runtime from ~18s to ~8s.

4. Remove unnecessary _premium_user_check patch:
   test_pubsub_anthropic_passthrough_tokens_and_response doesn't
   create a GcsPubSubLogger, so the premium check patch was dead.

5. Strengthen message structure assertions:
   Tests now verify messages have {role, content} keys, not just
   isinstance(list), catching format mismatches like the Vertex
   contents issue.
