e8f39a3f0e Count wait_for_stream_token timeouts per lagging stream
When a worker's replication of a stream stalls, clients whose previous
sync was served by a worker ahead of it hand us a token we will never
catch up to, `wait_for_stream_token` times out after 10s and `/sync`
returns an empty response indefinitely. Nothing metric-side pointed at
which stream had stalled (see #20080, where it was `quarantined_media`).

Count the timeouts against each stream the token is still ahead of us on,
and name those streams (and their positions) in the logs instead of
dumping two whole tokens.
