Previously, BackendHealthStatus conflated WHAT the status is with WHY the backend is in that state. For example, BackendUnauthenticated was both a status value and a reason, making it unclear whether a backend was unavailable due to authentication issues or other causes.
This improves observability by providing clear separation between the backend's availability state and the underlying cause of that state.

This change introduces BackendHealthReason to explicitly capture WHY a backend is in its current state, while BackendHealthStatus describes WHAT the state is (healthy, degraded, unhealthy, unknown).
