test(e2e): drop the openai prompt-cache check pending LIT-4841

Prompt caching never engages through the proxy: cached_tokens is 0 on every
repeat, while the identical payload sent straight to OpenAI reports 3615 cached
tokens on the second call. Pinning prompt_cache_key on the proxy request restores
caching (3328 tokens), so something varying per request is defeating OpenAI's
automatic prefix cache.

That is a product bug with a direct billing cost, tracked in LIT-4841. The
registry row stays, so llm.chat_completions.openai.prompt_cache_5m.nonstream.works
now reports as an uncovered gap instead of failing every run.
