fix(compression): notify users when configured aux model fails even if main-model fallback recovers (#16775)

A misconfigured auxiliary.compression.model is a user-fixable problem that silent recovery would hide. The previous retry-on-main logic transparently swallowed aux-model failures whenever the fallback succeeded, leaving the user's broken config in place and racking up future failures.

Track the aux-model failure on the compressor alongside the existing fallback-placeholder fields:
- _last_aux_model_failure_model: str | None
- _last_aux_model_failure_error: str | None

Both are set at the moment the aux model errors (captured before summary_model is cleared for retry), regardless of whether the retry succeeds. Cleared at compress() start and on on_session_reset() so a clean run doesn't leak stale warnings.

Surface at three places:
- gateway hygiene auto-compress: ℹ note to the platform adapter (thread_id preserved)
- gateway /compress command: ℹ line appended to the reply
- CLI via _emit_warning: deduped on (model, error) so repeat compactions don't spam

Distinct from the existing ⚠️ dropped-turns warning — different severity, different emoji, explicit 'context is intact' reassurance.
