Add inference throughput logging to chat models

Implements TPOT (Time Per Output Token) and inference speed metrics:
- TPOT = (e2e_latency - TTFT) / (num_output_tokens - 1)
- Inference Speed = 1 / TPOT tokens/second

Modified chat models:
- openai_compatible.py: API call timing with token counting
- vllm.py: Batch-level timing with per-request metrics
- sglang.py: Timing with meta_info extraction
- huggingface.py: Batch processing with token calculation
- llava_hf.py: Single-request timing with error handling
- qwen2_5_vl.py: Batch timing implementation

Features:
- Precise timing around model.generate() calls
- TTFT estimation when not available from model
- Comprehensive logging with formatted metrics
- Batch processing support
- Error handling for robustness
