fix: fail over with each candidate provider's own model

The failover loop resolved a single Model for the request and reused it
for every provider: a fallback provider was asked to serve the routing
winner's model id and billed at the winner's pricing and fee. The alias
map now keeps (model, provider) candidate pairs, the proxy rebinds both
per attempt, and forwarding, max-cost echo, and settlement all use the
candidate actually being tried. On a failover serve the response's
model field now names the serving candidate's id.

The unified candidate lookup also applies the version-suffix strip
(-YYYYMMDD) that model resolution already had, so version-suffixed
requests no longer resolve a model yet 400 with "no provider found".
