Fix: Replace SystemExit with LLMContextLengthExceededError in handle_context_length

- Changed handle_context_length to raise LLMContextLengthExceededError instead of SystemExit when respect_context_window=False
- This allows proper exception handling and prevents the entire application from terminating
- Added comprehensive unit tests to verify the fix
- Updated test imports to include LLMContextLengthExceededError

Fixes #3774
