feat(cost): per-run cost governor — reserve-before-call enforcement

Pipeline v2 Phase 1, commit 3/4. Cost_Governor reserves each call's
worst-case estimate (prompt chars/4 + max_tokens via the #18 pricing
chain) against the run ledger row with one atomic conditional UPDATE
(the #10 lock discipline) BEFORE dispatch, then settles to actuals after
each response; failed calls release their hold. Integrated inside
OpenRouter_Provider::send_chat_completion so EVERY text-LLM call path is
guarded with zero call-site changes; the image curl_multi batch reserves
its summed estimate in Image_Pipeline before generate_image_batch.

Breach: run halted (sticky), overage recorded, Cost_Ceiling_Exception
aborts the un-dispatched call, process_next_queued_article aborts the
remaining queued articles of halted/failed runs, and the Review Queue
shows a 'Halted runs' notice (runs halted pre-post have no draft to
list). Ceiling = prautoblogger_per_run_cost_ceiling_usd setting (default
constant $0.50, snapshotted at run start, 0 = disabled). Standalone
no-run calls, the monthly cap, and the AI Gateway path are unchanged.

Under-300: provider API-key fetch+validation moved verbatim to
OpenRouter_Request_Builder::resolve_api_key().

* failures. By the time it is thrown the governor has already

* and logged — catchers must NOT dispatch the call they were about
* to make, and chained jobs abort via the run-status check in
* Pipeline_Runner::process_next_queued_article().

* Dependencies: none (extends RuntimeException).

/**
* phpcs:ignore WordPress.Files.FileName.InvalidClassFileName -- class naming convention differs from WordPress standard
*
* Per-run cost governor — reserve-before-call against the run ledger.
*
* What: Net-new enforcement (the monthly Cost_Tracker cap only bounds the
* month; `get_current_run_cost()` was an unguarded accumulator).
* Before any governed call dispatches, its worst-case cost estimate
* is atomically added to the run's `reserved_usd` via a single
* conditional UPDATE — the same atomic-conditional-write discipline
* as PRAutoBlogger_Generation_Lock (#10) — so concurrent writers
* (curl_multi fan-outs, chained jobs) cannot slip past the ceiling
* between check and call. Batches reserve their SUMMED estimate
* before dispatch. After each response the reservation settles to
* the actual cost, so a cheap call never holds its worst case.
* Breach: the run is marked `halted` (sticky), the overage is
* recorded on the runs row, the Review Queue surfaces it, and a
* Cost_Ceiling_Exception aborts the un-dispatched call. Standalone
* calls outside any run (no run context) are not run-governed —
* exactly the historical behavior; the monthly cap and the
* Cloudflare AI Gateway path are untouched everywhere.
* Who triggers it: PRAutoBlogger_OpenRouter_Provider::send_chat_completion
* (every text-LLM call path), PRAutoBlogger_Image_Pipeline (image
* curl_multi batch).
* Dependencies: Run_Context (which run is this process in),
* Run_State (ledger row + halt), OpenRouter_Pricing (#18 chain),
* WordPress $wpdb, Logger.
*
* @see class-generation-lock.php — The atomic-write pattern this mirrors.
