feat(proxy): add request timeout config (#738)
## Description

Add --request-timeout-seconds CLI flag and HEADROOM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
environment variable to the headroom proxy command, allowing users to
configure the upstream request timeout (default: 300s). This is useful
for slow providers such as local LLM servers (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp)
where the default timeout may be insufficient.

Fixes #737

## Type of Change

- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- Added --request-timeout-seconds option to the proxy command with
HEADROOM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT envvar support
- Passed request_timeout_seconds (default: 300s when not specified)
- Added tests for both CLI flag and environment variable paths

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$  pytest tests/test_cli_proxy_env.py -q
45 passed in 3.46s

$  mypy headroom
Success: no issues found in 356 source files

$  ruff check .
All checks passed!
```

Follows the existing pattern used by --connect-timeout-seconds.
Environment variable approach is essential for Docker/Kubernetes
deployments where modifying CLI args requires image rebuilds.

remains represented by the linked GitHub checks and any author-provided
evidence above.
