Implementation Plan: T5-P4-A7-WP1 Eliminate 'anthropic'.casefold() from _quota_refresh_loop and resolve_provider() from _prime_quota_cache (#4098)

## Summary

Replace the hardcoded `'anthropic'.casefold()` string comparison in
`_quota_refresh_loop` and the `resolve_provider()` call in
`_prime_quota_cache` with a typed `QuotaPolicy` frozen dataclass
carrying a `supports_quota_check: bool` field. Call sites derive the
bool from `ctx.backend.capabilities.anthropic_provider_capable`,
removing all raw provider string passing to quota functions.
`resolve_provider()` is deleted from `_misc.py`.

Closes #4025
