feat(backend): implement comprehensive rate-limited Discord alerting system (#11106)

## Summary
Implement comprehensive Discord alerting system with intelligent rate
limiting to prevent spam and provide proper visibility into system
failures across retry mechanisms and execution errors.

## Key Features

### 🚨 Rate-Limited Discord Alerting Infrastructure
- **Reusable rate-limited alerts**: `send_rate_limited_discord_alert()`
function for any Discord alerts
- **5-minute rate limiting**: Prevents spam for identical error
signatures (function+error+context)
- **Thread-safe**: Proper locking for concurrent alert attempts
- **Configurable channels**: Support custom Discord channels or default
to PLATFORM
- **Graceful failure handling**: Alert failures don't break main
application flow

### 🔄 Enhanced Retry Alert System
- **Unified threshold alerting**: Both general retries and
infrastructure retries alert at EXCESSIVE_RETRY_THRESHOLD (50 attempts)
- **Critical retry alerts**: Early warning when operations approach
failure threshold
- **Infrastructure monitoring**: Dedicated alerts for database, Redis,
RabbitMQ connection issues
- **Rate limited**: All retry alerts use rate limiting to prevent
overwhelming Discord channels

### 📊 Unknown Execution Error Alerts
- **Automatic error detection**: Alert for unexpected graph execution
failures
- **Rich context**: Include user ID, graph ID, execution ID, error type
and message
- **Filtered alerts**: Skip known errors (InsufficientBalanceError,
ModerationError)
- **Proper error tracking**: Ensure execution_stats.error is set for all
error types

## Technical Implementation

### Rate Limiting Strategy
```python
# Create unique signatures based on function+error+context
error_signature = f"{context}:{func_name}:{type(exception).__name__}:{str(exception)[:100]}"
```
- **5-minute windows**: ALERT_RATE_LIMIT_SECONDS = 300 prevents
duplicate alerts
- **Memory efficient**: Only store last alert timestamp per unique error
signature
- **Context awareness**: Same error in different contexts can send
separate alerts

### Alerting Hierarchy
1. **50 attempts**: Critical alert warning about approaching failure
(EXCESSIVE_RETRY_THRESHOLD)
2. **100 attempts**: Final infrastructure failure (conn_retry max_retry)
3. **Unknown execution errors**: Immediate rate-limited alerts for
unexpected failures

## Files Modified

### Core Implementation
- `backend/executor/manager.py`: Unknown execution error alerts with
rate limiting
- `backend/util/retry.py`: Comprehensive rate-limited alerting
infrastructure
- `backend/util/retry_test.py`: Full test coverage for rate limiting
functionality (14 tests)

### Code Quality Improvements
- **Inlined alert messages**: Eliminated unnecessary temporary variables
- **Simplified logic**: Removed excessive comments and redundant alerts
- **Consistent patterns**: All alert functions follow same clean code
style
- **DRY principle**: Reusable rate-limited alert system for future
monitoring needs

## Benefits

### 🛡️ Prevents Alert Spam
- **Rate limiting**: No more overwhelming Discord channels with
duplicate alerts
- **Intelligent deduplication**: Same errors rate limited while
different errors get through
- **Thread safety**: Concurrent operations handled correctly

### 🔍 Better System Visibility  
- **Unknown errors**: Issues that need investigation are properly
surfaced
- **Infrastructure monitoring**: Early warning for
database/Redis/RabbitMQ issues
- **Rich context**: All necessary debugging information included in
alerts

### 🧹 Maintainable Codebase
- **Reusable infrastructure**: `send_rate_limited_discord_alert()` for
future monitoring
- **Clean, consistent code**: Inlined messages, simplified logic, proper
abstractions
- **Comprehensive testing**: Rate limiting edge cases and real-world
scenarios covered

## Validation Results
-  All 14 retry tests pass including comprehensive rate limiting
coverage
-  Manager execution tests pass validating integration with execution
flow
-  Thread safety validated with concurrent alert attempt tests
-  Real-world scenarios tested including the specific spend_credits
spam issue that motivated this work
-  Code formatting, linting, and type checking all pass

## Before/After Comparison

### Before
- No rate limiting → Discord spam for repeated errors
- Unknown execution errors not monitored → Issues went unnoticed  
- Inconsistent alerting thresholds → Confusing monitoring
- Verbose code with temporary variables → Harder to maintain

### After  
-  Rate-limited intelligent alerting prevents spam
-  Unknown execution errors properly monitored with context
-  Unified 50-attempt threshold for consistent monitoring
-  Clean, maintainable code with reusable infrastructure
