Also fix the slightly wrong (but so far harmless) pattern of initializing `OpenAILLMService.InputParams()` in the `GoogleVertexLLMService` if `params` wasn't provided—we should be letting the superclass decide what to do if the argument isn't specified.
- Conceptually, these args comprise project-level setup, akin to credentials, whereas everything in `InputParams` is concerned with model configuration
- Providing a `project_id` when initializing `GoogleVertexLLMService` should not be optional, but prior to the change in this commit it was (erroneously) treated as optional by dint of `InputParams` being optional
This improvement was discussed [in this comment](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/pull/2795#discussion_r2408279142).
To understand this fix, let's look exclusively at `pause_processing_frames()` (`pause_processing_system_frames()` works the same way).
`pause_processing_frames()` works by setting a `__should_block_frames` flag, which is then read each time through the loop in the long-running `__process_frame_task_handler`. if `__should_block_frames` is `True`, it pauses processing frames until it's resumed.
Prior to this fix, the check for `__should_block_frames` was before `await self.__process_queue.get()`. The problem is that a lot of the time spent in the loop is waiting for a frame from the process queue. So if `pause_processing_frames()` is set at any time other than within `process_frame()` itself, it actually won't have an effect by the next frame, only on the frame *after* the next, which is later than intended.
Because thus far in the Pipecat codebase we've only ever called `pause_processing_frames()` and `pause_processing_system_frames()` from within `process_frame()`, this change should have no behavioral effect. But it will be helpful if we ever need to call it from anywhere else. I noticed this issue while developing a feature that did exactly that (though I later abandoned that code).
It expected a WebSocket URL, but we're no longer (directly) using WebSockets to talk to Gemini. Instead of trying to (potentially erroneously) map a given custom WebSocket URL to an `HttpOptions` object (the new preferred way of customizing requests made by the Gemini API client), we're simply deprecating `base_url` and pointing users to the `http_options` argument instead.
