Documents the tier fallback ladder added in BerriAI/litellm#35331

A classified tier used to resolve to whatever the config named, whether or not the router could serve it, so an unregistered model group or one entirely in cooldown failed the request. Resolution now walks live models in the classified tier, then upward a tier at a time, then default_model, then the classified tier as a best effort; never downward. Adds the section explaining the order, the tier_fallback_from fact recorded when it climbs, and the two cases that still raise rather than being routed around (an empty tier pool, and a routing plugin narrowing a tier to zero)
