JonthanaHanh 431d2a628c fix: break unbounded 401 retry loop in credential pool OAuth path
When api_key_hint from a 401 response doesn't match any pool entry
(common with OAuth tokens where runtime_api_key rotates), the pool
rotated without marking anything exhausted and handed back a fresh
selection. Because nothing was ever marked, the pool could never reach
the "no available entries" state — the caller retried the same dead
token forever (~6 attempts/sec), starving the event loop so /stop was
never processed; only killing the gateway ended it.

Rebased onto the identity-tracking rework that landed on main
(73c4b5a045): the single-entry escape from that commit already stops
the most common OAuth case, so this fix bounds the REMAINING gap —
multi-entry pools ping-ponging A->B->A with an unmatched hint. Cap
consecutive no-mark rotations at one full lap of the available
entries, then return None so the error surfaces / fallback activates.

Deliberately does NOT mark innocent entries exhausted (the original
PR's approach): that would quarantine a healthy key for the full
cooldown TTL on a hint that provably matches nothing. No cooldown is
written by the escape, so healthy keys stay available next turn --
bounded without hammering.

The streak resets when a rotation identifies a real entry and on any
successful normal select(), so only genuinely consecutive unmatched
rotations trip the bound.

"""#70401: the unmatched-identity rotation branch in
``mark_exhausted_and_rotate()`` must be bounded and must not write cooldowns
onto innocent healthy keys.
With OAuth-token auth (provider ``nous``), the upstream 401's ``api_key_hint``
never matches any pool entry's ``runtime_api_key`` — the wrapper's runtime key
rotates. The no-match branch deliberately marks nothing exhausted (marking
would quarantine an innocent healthy key for the full cooldown TTL) and hands
back a fresh selection. But because nothing is ever marked, the pool can never
converge to the "no available entries" state: with the old code the caller
retried the same dead token forever (~6/sec), starving the event loop so chat
``/stop`` interrupts were never processed; only killing the gateway ended it.
The fix keeps the don't-mark-innocent-keys semantics (see the breaker/cooldown
design notes in ``mark_exhausted_and_rotate`` — the pool only trips on
confirmed-empty state, and no cooldown is invented here) but BOUNDS the
branch: after one full lap of the available entries with no recovery, the
rotation returns None so the caller surfaces the error / activates fallback.
Healthy keys carry no cooldown and are immediately available next turn — this
does not reintroduce hammering, it stops it.
