feat(prometheus): rate-limit category/type labels + exception_class back-compat (follow-up to #27687) (#27706)

* feat(prometheus): add rate_limit_category and rate_limit_type labels

Adds two new labels to litellm_proxy_failed_requests_metric so dashboards
can split 429s by rate-limit source (vendor vs. litellm-internal) and by
the dimension that was exceeded (requests/tokens/concurrent_requests/
budget/max_iterations) without parsing free-text error messages.

Closes the Prometheus side of LIT-2718. The unified RateLimitError.category
and .rate_limit_type fields landed in PR #27687 but were only surfaced on
StandardLoggingPayload (custom-callback channel); this exposes them on
the metric label set as well.

Both labels are populated only when the underlying exception is a
litellm.RateLimitError; non-rate-limit failures keep them empty.

* feat(prometheus): populate rate-limit labels + preserve exception_class back-compat

Two coupled changes in the Prometheus integration:

1. async_post_call_failure_hook now extracts the new RateLimitError
   .category / .rate_limit_type fields (added in PR #27687) via a
   _extract_rate_limit_labels helper and forwards them through
   UserAPIKeyLabelValues onto litellm_proxy_failed_requests_metric.
   Empty for non-rate-limit failures.

2. _get_exception_class_name special-cases ProxyRateLimitError and
   keeps emitting 'HTTPException' for the exception_class label.
   Without this shim, ProxyRateLimitError (which multi-inherits from
   HTTPException + RateLimitError) would silently flip the label
   from 'HTTPException' (the historical value for proxy-side 429s)
   to 'ProxyRateLimitError', breaking existing dashboards / alerts
   that key off exception_class='HTTPException'. Distinguishing
   vendor vs. litellm 429s is now the job of the new
   rate_limit_category label.

* test(prometheus): cover rate-limit labels and exception_class back-compat

Adds 19 tests across:
- enum / label-list registration
- _extract_rate_limit_labels for vendor RateLimitError, ProxyRateLimitError,
  non-rate-limit and None inputs (incl. parametrized over every
  RateLimitErrorCategory x RateLimitType combo)
- _get_exception_class_name back-compat: ProxyRateLimitError keeps the
  legacy 'HTTPException' string while vendor RateLimitError keeps the
  historical 'Provider.ClassName' format
- end-to-end through async_post_call_failure_hook with both
  ProxyRateLimitError and vendor RateLimitError, asserting both new
  labels populate and exception_class stays back-compat

* fix(prometheus): tolerate missing fastapi in lazy ProxyRateLimitError import

Address greptile feedback:
- async_post_call_failure_hook docstring: drop the stale labelnames listing
  and reference PrometheusMetricLabels.litellm_proxy_failed_requests_metric
  as the source of truth so the doc cannot drift from the actual labelset.
- _get_exception_class_name: guard the lazy ProxyRateLimitError import with
  ImportError so router-side fallback callsites don't blow up in non-proxy
  installs that don't have fastapi (a transitive dep of
  proxy.common_utils.proxy_rate_limit_error). Behavior is unchanged when
  fastapi is available.

Also fix the existing enterprise callback test that asserted the old
labelset on litellm_proxy_failed_requests_metric — it now expects the new
rate_limit_category / rate_limit_type labels populated for vendor 429s.
