fix(platform): A2A proxy ResponseHeaderTimeout 60s → 180s default, env-configurable

Cherry-pick of d79a4bd2 from PR #318 onto fresh main base (PR #318 closed).

Issue #310: platform a2a-proxy logs ~300/hr
`timeout awaiting response headers` because ResponseHeaderTimeout was hardcoded
to 60s. Opus agent turns (big context + internal delegate_task round-trips)
routinely exceed 60s, so the proxy gave up before headers arrived even when
the workspace agent was healthy.

Changes:
- a2a_proxy.go: ResponseHeaderTimeout: 60s hardcoded →
  envx.Duration("A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT", 180s).
  180s gives Opus turns comfortable headroom. The X-Timeout caller header
  still bounds the absolute request ceiling independently.
- a2a_proxy_test.go: TestA2AClientResponseHeaderTimeout verifies the 180s
  default and env-override parsing logic.

Env var: A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT (e.g. 5m, 300s).

Closes #310.
