add token usage tracking to LLM responses

- Add TokenCounter dataclass to track input/output tokens and LLM calls
- Update QueryResponse model with token usage fields (input_tokens, output_tokens, truncated, available_quotas)
- Implement extract_token_usage_from_turn() function for token counting
- Update /query and /streaming_query endpoints to include token usage in responses
- Modify retrieve_response() to return token usage information
- Update test cases to handle new return values and mock token usage
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing API structure

The implementation provides a foundation for token tracking that can be enhanced
with more sophisticated counting logic in the future.
