fix: close old LLM clients when event loop changes

This fixes a critical bug where old AsyncAzureOpenAI and AsyncAnthropicBedrock
clients were not being closed when the event loop changed, causing:

1. Connection pool exhaustion → "couldn't get a connection after 30.00 sec"
2. RuntimeError: Event loop is closed during httpx client cleanup

Root cause:
In LLMClient.call(), when the event loop changed, new clients were created
but old clients were not properly closed, leading to connection leaks.

Fix:
- Added await client.close() for both openai_client and anthropic_client
  before creating new instances
- Added comprehensive unit tests to verify proper cleanup

Impact:
- Resolves ~150+ test generation failures (500 errors)
- Fixes event loop closure errors in aiservice logs

Trace IDs affected: 04500fbd-88e0-44e4-8d20-32f6a0dc06cc (and many others)
