Ishaan Jaff b7b20664c1 Gflags worker parameters (#22931)
* feat: add LITELLM_WORKER_STARTUP_HOOKS for per-worker initialization (gflags support)

Add support for running user-defined startup hooks in each worker process
during proxy_startup_event. This enables re-initialization of in-process
state (like gflags.FLAGS) that doesn't survive uvicorn worker spawning.

Usage:
  export LITELLM_WORKER_STARTUP_HOOKS=mymodule:init_fn,other:setup_fn

Hooks run early in proxy_startup_event (before config/DB loading).
Supports both sync and async callables. Errors propagate to prevent
broken workers from serving traffic. No-op when env var is unset.

Includes 5 tests covering sync/async hooks, multiple hooks, error
propagation, and no-hooks-set scenarios.
