Implement queue notification system for streaming responses

- Add QueueManager class to track waiting requests
- Send 'waiting for model...' frames with time counter at regular intervals
- Send 'Model starting' frame when model begins processing
- Add x_queue_info field to streaming response frames for queue status
- Track queue position and wait time for each client
