v0.14.3 apiproxy: 58% compression on live Claude Code traffic

Four new compression sources beyond messages-text:
  - System prompt (top-level field, preserves cache_control hints)
  - tool_use input (LLM's tool call args in conversation history)
  - tool_result output (now broken out separately from messages_text)
  - Aggregate per-block tracking with breakdown logging

GET /_stats returns live cumulative compression numbers as JSON.

Measured on this very Claude Code session (model=claude-opus-4-7):
  single request: 1,717,439 -> 724,057 bytes  (993 KB saved, 58% reduction)
    sys=26B msg=98KB tool_result=629KB tool_use_input=293KB
  cumulative:     3.4 MB -> 1.46 MB  (2.35x compression)
