feat(evals): Add latency summary feature

[Ayush8923]

Issue

Closes #1253

Summary

evaluation runs already report the total cost of the OpenAI calls they make. Until now there was no way to see how fast those calls were. This PR adds a latency summary next to cost on every fast evaluation run, so we can see the average time an OpenAI call took, broken down by step.

What's new

• Each run now has a latency field. It shows the average call time in milliseconds and the number of calls, for each step of the run, plus one overall average:
  • response: generating the answer for each question
  • embedding: similarity scoring, v1 runs only
  • judge: LLM-as-judge scoring, v2 runs only
• The overall average gives each call equal weight, so a step with more calls counts for more.
• The field is returned by the existing run endpoints (GET /api/v1/evaluations and GET /api/v1/evaluations/{id}). v2 runs are read through these same endpoints. No new endpoint was added.

Example for a v2 run:

"latency": {
  "response": { "avg_latency_ms": 1834.2, "call_count": 48 },
  "judge":    { "avg_latency_ms": 2410.0, "call_count": 47 },
  "avg_latency_ms": 2119.3,
  "call_count": 95
}

Checklist

Before submitting a pull request, please ensure that you mark these task.

• Ran fastapi run --reload app/main.py or docker compose up in the repository root and test.
• If you've fixed a bug or added code that is tested and has test cases.

📝 Walkthrough

Fast evaluations now record response, embedding, and judge call latency in milliseconds. Successful timed calls are aggregated into per-stage and overall summaries. The summary is persisted on evaluation runs and exposed through the run model and endpoint.

Some failed responses can distort judge latency summaries. Exclude those rows from judge selection; the issue is bounded and does not prevent runs from completing.

Exclude failed response rows from judge selection.

A failed response can contain nonempty error text and ground_truth. select_judgeable_rows accepts it because it does not check failed. If judge_row succeeds, the result enters outcome.judge_results, and the changed attachment loop counts its latency.

Suggested fix

        for response in response_results
-        if response.get("generated_output") and response.get("ground_truth")
+        if (
+            not response.get("failed")
+            and response.get("generated_output")
+            and response.get("ground_truth")
+        )

Update select_judgeable_rows to exclude responses marked failed before selecting
