test(router): add coverage for least_busy counter clamp to zero

Addresses Codecov 0% patch coverage. Tests verify:
- sync success callback clamps counter at 0 (not -1)
- sync failure callback clamps counter at 0
- multiple duplicate callbacks never push counter below 0
- counter decrements normally from positive values (1 -> 0)

+"""
+Test that LeastBusyLoggingHandler clamps request counters to zero.
+
+When success/failure callbacks fire before the pre-call callback
+(race condition) or fire multiple times, the counter can go negative.
+A negative count causes that deployment to attract ALL traffic while
+others starve.
+
+Regression test for https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/25323
