Add TCP_NODELAY option to improve performance for large response queries (#749)

This commit adds the TCP_NODELAY option to the socket configuration in
`configure_socket` function. Without this option, we observed significant
performance issues when executing SELECT queries with large responses.

Before the fix:
postgres=> SELECT repeat('a', 1); SELECT repeat('a', 8153);
Time: 1.368 ms
Time: 41.364 ms

After the fix:
postgres=> SELECT repeat('a', 1); SELECT repeat('a', 8153);
Time: 1.332 ms
Time: 1.528 ms

By setting TCP_NODELAY, we eliminate the Nagle's algorithm delay, which
results in a substantial improvement in response times for large queries.

This problem was discussed in https://github.com/postgresml/pgcat/issues/616.
