fix: use a shared OkHttpClient with daemon threads across the ADK

Why:
Default OkHttpClient instances spin up non-daemon threads with keep-alive timeouts that keep the JVM alive after process completion when running standalone agents or short-lived CLI tasks, and constructing one client per agent instance causes connection and thread pool leaks.

What:
Centralizes OkHttpClient creation via HttpClientFactory and updates Gemini.java, ApiClient.java, and ChatCompletionsHttpClient.java to reuse a single shared dispatcher pool. Adds unit tests to verify daemon thread behavior and custom ExecutorService injection.

How:
HttpClientFactory creates an OkHttpClient with a Dispatcher backed by daemon threads. Overloaded createSharedHttpClient methods accepting an optional ExecutorService are exposed so managed container environments can inject their own executor directly on client creation.
