fix(proxy): gzip responses over 16 KiB off the event loop (#46362)
* fix(proxy): gzip responses over 16 KiB off the event loop

GZipBufferedResponseMiddleware compressed every body under 1 MiB inline.
gzip.compress holds the event loop for its whole run, and its cost follows
how well the body compresses: an 824 KB base64 embeddings response (100
inputs, the OpenAI SDK default encoding) takes about 165 ms, so every other
request on the worker waits that long, and with several in flight the
compressions run back to back.

Lower OFF_LOOP_SIZE_BYTES to 16 KiB so only bodies that compress in well
under a millisecond stay on the loop. zlib releases the GIL, so the loop
keeps serving while a worker thread compresses.

* test(proxy): pin the gzip off-loop boundary at exactly OFF_LOOP_SIZE_BYTES

A body of exactly OFF_LOOP_SIZE_BYTES compresses in a worker thread, as the
`<` in _compress implies. Suggested in review.

* test(proxy): pin an embeddings-sized gzip body off the event loop and drop the source comment

The off-loop test was relative to OFF_LOOP_SIZE_BYTES, so it still passed with the old
1 MiB line. An 824 KB body, the size of the 100-input base64 embeddings response in the
issue, now has to compress in a worker thread. The recorder no longer mutates a list, and
the threshold rationale stays in the commit history instead of a source comment.
