fix: Improve cache/valkey and LLM configuration

- Add connection verification for Redis/Valkey cache with PING test
- Support CACHE_URL, REDIS_URL, and VALKEY_URL environment variables
- Add better error messages when cache is unavailable
- Add LLM_URL and LLM_MODEL environment variable support
- LLM configuration now checks env vars first, then database, then defaults
- This ensures local LLM (http://localhost:8081) is used as proper fallback

Fixes suggestions button not working when valkey is unavailable
and improves LLM configuration when no bot config.csv exists.
