Ignore stale Guardian tool risk scores (#39001)

## What changed

- Track the latest tool call and latest scored tool call for each Guardian v2 thread.
- Skip approval review when the score lags by more than `max_tool_call_lag` tool calls.
- Add `max_tool_call_lag` to the Guardian v2 configuration and schema, with a default of three.

## Testing

- Cover approval review at, above, and after recovering from the configured lag limit.
- Cover deserialization of `max_tool_call_lag`.
