Bently caf9ff34e6 fix(backend): Handle stale RabbitMQ channels on connection drop (#11929)
### Changes 🏗️

Fixes
[**AUTOGPT-SERVER-1TN**](https://autoagpt.sentry.io/issues/?query=AUTOGPT-SERVER-1TN)
(~39K events since Feb 2025) and related connection issues
**6JC/6JD/6JE/6JF** (~6K combined).

#### Problem

When the RabbitMQ TCP connection drops (network blip, server restart,
etc.):

1. `connect_robust` (aio_pika) automatically reconnects the underlying
AMQP connection
2. But `AsyncRabbitMQ._channel` still references the **old dead
channel**
3. `is_ready` checks `not self._channel.is_closed` — but the channel
object doesn't know the transport is gone
4. `publish_message` tries to use the stale channel →
`ChannelInvalidStateError: No active transport in channel`
5. `@func_retry` retries 5 times, but each retry hits the same stale
channel (it passes `is_ready`)

This means every connection drop generates errors until the process is
restarted.

#### Fix

**New `_ensure_channel()` helper** that resets stale channels before
reconnecting, so `connect()` creates a fresh one instead of
short-circuiting on `is_connected`.

**Explicit `ChannelInvalidStateError` handling in `publish_message`:**
1. First attempt uses `_ensure_channel()` (handles normal staleness)
2. If publish throws `ChannelInvalidStateError`, does a full reconnect
(resets both `_channel` and `_connection`) and retries once
3. `@func_retry` provides additional retry resilience on top

**Simplified `get_channel()`** to use the same resilient helper.

#### Impact
- Eliminates ~39K `ChannelInvalidStateError` Sentry events
- RabbitMQ operations self-heal after connection drops without process
restart
- Related transport EOF errors (6JC/6JD/6JE/6JF) should also reduce
