Ettore Di Giacinto 6ab7a982f7 fix(failover): stop the preload loop from blocking the scheduler goroutine
applyFailoverWarmTargets ran on the manager's single scheduler goroutine
(Sync -> Tick), so a slow or hung PreloadModelByName call froze probing
and fail-back for every chain. Keep the watchdog pin synchronous but run
the preload loop in its own goroutine. Adds a seam (preloadModelByName)
so a unit test can substitute a blocking loader and assert the callback
still returns promptly.

// applyFailoverWarmTargets pins warm failover targets in the watchdog and
// loads them, so a switch does not wait for a cold load.
//
// SyncPinnedModelsToWatchdog runs synchronously: it is a cheap in-memory
// update, and the pin must land before the watchdog can evict a target that
// is about to become (or stay) a chain's active path. Preloading is not
// cheap — it can download or load a multi-GB model — and this callback runs
// on the failover manager's single scheduler goroutine (Sync, called from
// Tick, called from Run), before that tick's probes fire. A slow or hung
// load here would freeze probing and fail-back for every chain, so it runs
// in its own goroutine instead of blocking the scheduler loop.
