lukaszraczylo de42192426 refactor(mcp): restore errors.Is for the oversize-response sentinel
Federation's tools/call oversize branch matched a string marker with
strings.Contains instead of wrapping a sentinel. The stated reason was
that no gate exercised this path under Yaegi, so errors.Is was unproven
here.

The caution was misplaced. errors.New returns a compiled
*errors.errorString and fmt.Errorf a compiled *fmt.wrapError, so
declaring the sentinel variable in interpreted code leaves the entire
chain errors.Is walks compiled. Neither documented trap applies: the
matchesSentinel trip-wire covers a plugin-declared error TYPE, and the
comma-ok trap needs a plugin-declared interface. retry.go has matched
errRequestBuildFailed this way through a multi-%w wrap since v0.2.0.
The string check was also strictly worse: err.Error() is itself an
interpreted-to-compiled dispatch, so it verified nothing extra, and
matching on text that partly comes from the backend admits false
positives a sentinel cannot have.

Rather than settle this by argument, tools/yaegi-check now drives POST
/mcp tools/call against a backend whose response exceeds the cap, and
asserts the interpreted plugin reports "response too large". Breaking
the match makes the gate fail with "upstream error", so the probe has
teeth. This closes the objection permanently instead of answering it in
a comment.

Also in doBackendJSONRPC, check the HTTP status before the size cap. A
backend failing with a large HTML error page now reports "upstream
returned HTTP 500", which is actionable, rather than sending the
operator after a payload-size problem that does not exist.

Two comment corrections carried forward from review: the fan-out
semaphore is not the same shape as limiter.spawnTokens (spawnTokens
drops work via a default case, this one blocks and must never skip a
server), and the shared fan-out deadline gives later batches the
remaining budget, not a fresh one, so uniformly slow backends yield a
partial list.
