Bartok9 24c209f112 fix(auxiliary): detect quota exhaustion as payment error; allow capacity-error fallback for explicit providers
Closes #26803

Root causes:
1. _is_payment_error() checked for billing keywords (credits, insufficient
   funds, billing, payment required) but missed daily token quota exhaustion
   phrases used by Bedrock, Vertex AI, and LiteLLM proxies — e.g.
   'Too many tokens per day', 'quota exceeded', 'resource exhausted',
   'daily limit'. These are functionally identical to credit exhaustion
   (provider cannot serve the request) but don't trigger fallback.

2. The call_llm() fallback chain was gated on resolved_provider == 'auto'.
   When a task resolves to a specific provider (e.g. 'custom' for a LiteLLM
   proxy, or 'openrouter'), capacity failures (payment/quota/connection)
   silently raise instead of trying alternatives. This is overly conservative:
   capacity errors mean the provider *cannot* serve the request regardless of
   user intent, so alternatives should always be tried.

Fixes:
- Add quota-related keywords to _is_payment_error(): quota_exceeded,
  too many tokens per day, daily limit, tokens per day, daily quota,
  resource exhausted (Vertex AI gRPC code).
- Allow fallback for capacity errors (payment + connection) even when
  resolved_provider is not 'auto'. Rate-limit fallback stays gated on
  is_auto to honour explicit provider constraints for transient limits.
- Apply both fixes to sync call_llm() and async acall_llm() paths.
- Add 6 targeted tests for the new quota-error detection cases.
