## Title

    [litellm] _strip_prisma_query_params drops host, breaking Unix-socket Postgres deployments

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    _strip_prisma_query_params drops `host`, breaking every Unix-socket Postgres deployment
    
    ## What happens
    
    `_strip_prisma_query_params` filters `DATABASE_URL` through an allowlist of libpq parameters before handing it to psycopg. `host` is not in that allowlist, so it is removed.
    
    `litellm-proxy-extras/litellm_proxy_extras/utils.py:658-673` at v1.103.0:
    
    ```python
    libpq_params = {
        "sslmode", "sslcert", "sslkey", "sslrootcert", "sslpassword",
        "application_name", "connect_timeout", "client_encoding",
        "options", "service", "gssencmode", "krbsrvname", "target_session_attrs",
    }
    kept = [(k, v) for k, v in parse_qsl(parsed.query) if k in libpq_params]
    ```

    ## Trigger / context
    ## What happens
    
    `_strip_prisma_query_params` filters `DATABASE_URL` through an allowlist of libpq parameters before handing it to psycopg. `host` is not in that allowlist, so it is removed.
    
    `litellm-proxy-extras/litellm_proxy_extras/utils.py:658-673` at v1.103.0:
    
    ```python
    libpq_params = {
        "sslmode", "sslcert", "sslkey", "sslrootcert", "sslpassword",
        "application_name", "connect_timeout", "client_encoding",
        "options", "service", "gssencmode", "krbsrvname", "target_session_attrs",
    }
    kept = [(k, v) for k, v in parse_qsl(parsed.query) if k in libpq_params]
    ```
    
    `host` is a libpq parameter, and passing an absolute path in it is the documented way to select a Unix socket. The function's own docstring says it exists "so psycopg can parse it", but psycopg parses `host` correctly. The allowlist is what breaks it.
    
    ## Why it matters
    
    A Unix socket is how managed Postgres is reached on Cloud Run, App Engine, and Cloud Functions. A Cloud SQL URL looks like this:
    
    ```
    postgresql://u
