Fix HTTPX thread-safety issue with thread-local connections for incremental rendering (#2116)

## Problem

The HTTPX `stream_bidi` plugin has a **critical limitation**: only the
thread that creates the bidirectional streaming connection can write
chunks to the request stream. This causes race conditions in
multi-threaded production environments.

### Race Condition Scenario

1. **First request** (Thread A):
   - Creates HTTPX connection
   - Stores in `@incremental_connection` instance variable
   - Works fine ✅

2. **Second request** (Thread B - different Puma worker thread):
   - Tries to use same `@incremental_connection`
   - Attempts to write chunks
- **FAILS** ❌ - HTTPX raises error because Thread B didn't create the
connection

### Root Cause

- Puma handles different HTTP requests on different threads
- HTTPX `stream_bidi` plugin requires thread affinity for writes
- Shared instance variable causes cross-thread access violations

## Solution

Implemented **thread-local storage** for incremental rendering
connections:

```ruby
def incremental_connection
  Thread.current[:react_on_rails_incremental_connection] ||= create_incremental_connection
end
```

### How It Works

- Each Puma worker thread gets its own persistent bidirectional
streaming connection
- Stored in `Thread.current` instead of instance variable
- Automatically isolated between threads
- Proper cleanup via `reset_thread_local_incremental_connections`

## Changes

- Modified `incremental_connection` to use thread-local storage
- Added `reset_thread_local_incremental_connections` method
- Updated `reset_connection` to clean up all thread-local connections
- Removed shared `@incremental_connection` instance variable

## Trade-offs

### ✅ Benefits
- Eliminates race conditions completely
- Simple implementation using Ruby's built-in thread-local storage
- Each thread has isolated, persistent connection
- Works correctly in production with Puma

### ⚠️ Limitations
- Higher memory usage (one connection per Puma worker thread)
- Not optimal for high-scale production with many threads (e.g., Puma
with 5 threads × 5 workers = 25 connections)
- Temporary solution until better alternatives are available

## Long-Term Solutions

This is a **temporary workaround**. Permanent solutions being
considered:

1. **Fix HTTPX** - Contribute to HTTPX to support multi-threaded
bidirectional streaming
2. **Migrate to async-http** - Use async-http gem which is thread-safe
by design

See [#2115](#2115) for
detailed discussion.

## Testing

- [x] Code passes RuboCop validation
- [ ] Test incremental rendering with multiple concurrent requests
- [ ] Verify no race conditions in multi-threaded environment
- [ ] Measure memory usage with multiple Puma threads
