feat(router): add best_of_n router with parallel fan-out and synthesizer

Browse source 
A best_of_n/<name> deployment fans each request out to N configured model
groups in parallel, then a configured synthesizer merges the candidates into
the final answer (or picks the best candidate verbatim when tools are in
play). Registered as a custom provider so chat completions, /v1/messages and
/v1/responses all reach it through the existing bridges, streaming included.
Arms and the synthesizer each log their own spend under the caller's key with
best_of_n internal-call origins; the parent request logs an explicit zero.
Requested in #35781 and #30456

"""
Tests for the best-of-n router.
Covers the workflows an operator depends on, driven through the public
Router.acompletion entry point against mock deployments:
- synthesize mode: parallel fan-out, synthesizer answer returned, decision annotated.
- pick mode (tools present, or a candidate answered with tool_calls): judged
candidate returned verbatim; judge faults fall back to the priority arm.
- degradation: a failed arm is dropped and recorded; all arms failing re-raises.
- synthesizer failure falls back to the highest-priority candidate.
- streaming for both modes.
- init validation: unresolvable arms and best_of_n cycles are rejected.
- internal-call metadata: children stamped with best-of-n origins; nested
best-of-n calls refused.
