fix(telegram): release fallback transport pools on connect failure

[aneym]

Summary

TelegramFallbackTransport leaks a file descriptor on every failed fallback connect. On a host where api.telegram.org became unreachable, this exhausted the gateway's descriptor limit and wedged the whole process.

The per-IP httpx.AsyncHTTPTransport pools are built once in __init__ and never torn down. A connect that reaches ESTABLISHED and is then closed by the peer leaves its socket in CLOSE_WAIT inside the pool, and the failure path only logs and continues — so the poisoned pool is retained and leaks one descriptor per retry.

Two changes:

• Build fallback transports lazily and discard them on a retryable connect failure (_reset_fallback pops the pool and aclose()s it, releasing its sockets).
• Bound every pool at max_connections=8. httpx defaults to 100 per pool, so the two seed IPs plus primary could alone exceed a default file limit.

Impact observed

The bot gateway accumulated 177 sockets in CLOSE_WAIT to 149.154.166.110 (_SEED_FALLBACK_IPS[0]) against launchd's 256 soft limit. Once exhausted, the failure cascaded well beyond Telegram:

ERROR asyncio: socket.accept() out of system resource
socket: <asyncio.TransportSocket fd=36, laddr=('127.0.0.1', 8643)>
OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files

• accept() on the gateway port failed, so the gateway stopped answering entirely
• config reads failed (failed to read .drain_request.json: [Errno 24])
• DNS resolution failed (nodename nor servname provided), which made the primary path fail too and fed more traffic into the leaking fallback path
• MCP servers could not connect (tempo parked after 5 attempts)

The DNS symptom is what makes this self-reinforcing: descriptor exhaustion breaks the resolver, which forces every subsequent request down the fallback path, which leaks faster.

Test plan

Regression test drives 50 consecutive retryable connect failures through the transport:

• before: 1 pool retained indefinitely, 0 closes
• after: 0 pools retained, 50 aclose() calls, max_connections=8 applied

ok  pools bounded: max_connections=8
ok  no pools retained after 50 failed attempts (was: 1 held forever)
ok  every failed pool was closed (50 aclose calls)
ok  aclose() clean

Also verified in production: after applying this the gateway holds ~113 descriptors with 0 in CLOSE_WAIT, /health returns 200, and Telegram reconnects cleanly (set_my_commands OK, 60 cmds).

Note for operators: steady-state usage is ~113 descriptors, so a 256 soft limit leaves little headroom even without a leak. Raising NumberOfFiles on the service is worthwhile independently of this fix.

Merged via #72359 with your commit cherry-picked onto current main — authorship preserved. Added the regression test on top (the PR body referenced one but the diff shipped none). Thanks for the FD-leak fix!
