feat(utils): Add helpers for circuit breaker and circuit breaker tests (

#74559)

This is a follow-up to #74557, which added the beginnings of a rate-limit-based circuit breaker, in the form of a new `CircuitBreaker` class. In this PR, various helpers, for checking the state of the breaker and the underlying rate limiters and for communicating with redis, have been added to the class. It also adds a `MockCircuitBreaker` subclass for use in tests, which contains a number of methods for mocking both circuit breaker and rate limiter state.

Note that though these helpers don't have accompanying tests, they are tested (indirectly) in the final PR in the series[1], as part of testing the methods which use them.

[1] #74560
