fix: add actionable guidance to context-exceeded error messages (#4155)

Browse source 
When context compression fails, users now see hints suggesting /new
or /compress instead of a dead-end error. Covers all 4 error paths:
payload-too-large, max compression attempts (2 paths), and context
length exceeded.

Closes #4061
Salvaged from PR #4076 by SHL0MS.
