Teknium da8b89c835 fix(mcp): one WARNING per state transition, DEBUG retry chatter, jittered backoff
Log-storm hygiene for the reconnect machinery (#65673, #66092):

- State transitions carry exactly one WARNING each:
  connected → degraded (keepalive failure), degraded → parked
  (budget exhausted / rapid-drop park / permanent error),
  parked → connected (revival proven healthy, via
  _mark_session_proven).
- Per-attempt retry logs (initial-connect attempts, connection-lost
  reconnect attempts, per-cycle rebuild notices, park-wake probes)
  demoted to DEBUG.
- Backoff sleeps get +/-20% uniform jitter (_jittered) so a herd of
  servers that lost the same backend doesn't retry — and log — in
  lockstep.

"""Tests for MCP reconnect log hygiene and backoff jitter (#65673, #66092).
The retry/park machinery used to emit one WARNING per retry attempt — a
flapping server produced thousands of identical lines (#62212: 6212 spawns
in 63h). Now:
- per-attempt retry logs are DEBUG;
- state transitions carry exactly one WARNING each
(connected→degraded, degraded→parked, parked→revived);
- backoff sleeps get ±20% jitter so herds of servers don't retry in
lockstep.
