feat: implement comprehensive ExtProc testing with cache bypass (vllm-project#292)

This commit enhances the 01-envoy-extproc-test.py with ExtProc-specific
functionality tests and implements cache bypass using unique UUIDs.

Changes:
- Added unique UUID generation for each test to bypass semantic cache
- Implemented 4 comprehensive ExtProc tests covering key functionality
- Updated test queries to ensure fresh model calls instead of cached responses
- Enhanced error handling for connection issues in malformed request tests

Test Coverage:

1. test_request_headers_propagation

What: Tests that custom headers flow correctly through the ExtProc
How:
- Sends request with custom headers: X-Test-Trace-ID, X-Original-Model
- Verifies ExtProc doesn't break header handling
- Checks response contains proper Content-Type and model fields
ExtProc Value: Ensures headers aren't corrupted during ExtProc processing

2. test_extproc_body_modification

What: Tests that ExtProc can inspect/modify request and response bodies
How:
- Sends request with custom field: "test_field": "should_be_preserved"
- Uses header X-Test-Body-Modification: true to signal ExtProc
- Verifies response is valid and processing succeeded
ExtProc Value: Confirms ExtProc can access and potentially transform
request/response data

3. test_extproc_error_handling

What: Tests ExtProc resilience against malformed/unusual requests
How:
- Sends problematic headers: very long headers (1000 chars), special
characters
- Uses headers like X-Test-Error-Recovery: true
- Expects graceful handling (no crashes/hangs)
- Accepts either success OR protective disconnection
ExtProc Value: Ensures ExtProc acts as protective filter, doesn't crash on
bad input

4. test_extproc_performance_impact

What: Tests that ExtProc doesn't add excessive latency
How:
- Measures end-to-end response time with ExtProc processing
- Uses performance-specific headers: X-Test-Performance: true
- Validates response time < 30 seconds (reasonable threshold)
- Checks request succeeds without timeout
ExtProc Value: Confirms ExtProc doesn't bottleneck the request pipeline
