Pull request: serve: add non-streaming mode to /v1/responses; stream event parity; remove placeholder logprobs

- Add `stream=false` support in `POST /v1/responses` returning a single OpenAI `Response`.
- Emit streaming deltas consistently; avoid placeholder logprobs by using empty lists.
- Stabilize tests: robust event checks; deterministic full request.

**Files:**
- src/transformers/commands/serving.py
- tests/commands/test_serving.py

_**Notes**_: Minimal diff, aligns with AGENTS.md. Improves OpenAI parity.
