Fixes issues in the storage system by guaranteeing immediate durability
for responses and ensuring background writers stay alive. Three related
fixes:
* Responses to the OpenAI-compatible API now write directly to
Postgres/SQLite inside the request instead of detouring through an async
queue that might never drain; this restores the expected
read-after-write behavior and removes the "response not found" races
reported by users.
* The access-control shim was stamping owner_principal/access_attributes
as SQL NULL, which Postgres interprets as non-public rows; fixing it to
use the empty-string/JSON-null pattern means conversations and responses
stored without an authenticated user stay queryable (matching SQLite).
* The inference-store queue remains for batching, but its worker tasks
now start lazily on the live event loop so server startup doesn't cancel
them—writes keep flowing even when the stack is launched via llama stack
run.
Closes#4115
### Test Plan
Added a matrix entry to test our "base" suite against Postgres as the
store.
o Introduces vLLM provider support to the record/replay testing
framework
o Enabling both recording and replay of vLLM API interactions alongside
existing Ollama support.
The changes enable testing of vLLM functionality. vLLM tests focus on
inference capabilities, while Ollama continues to exercise the full API
surface
including vision features.

This is an alternative to #3128 , using qwen3 instead of llama 3.2 1B
appears to be more capable at structure output and tool calls.

Added a script to cleanup recordings. While doing this, moved the CI
matrix generation to a separate script so there is a single source of
truth for the matrix.
Ran the cleanup script as:
```
PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/cleanup_recordings.py
```
Also added this as part of the pre-commit workflow to ensure that the
recordings are always up to date and that no stale recordings are left
in the repo.
