Fires BeforeReduceContextEvent before reduce_context() and AfterReduceContextEvent after it returns, giving observability plugins a way to detect and measure context compaction without polling or inspecting internals. Closes strands-agents#2048

Description
When the agent handles a context window overflow it calls `reduce_context()`
synchronously, but there is no hook event around this operation. Observability
plugins and dashboards have no way to detect when context compaction happens
or how long it takes.
This change adds two new hook events that fire around the `reduce_context()`
call in `_execute_event_loop_cycle()`:
carries the `ContextWindowOverflowException` as its `exception` attribute,
giving subscribers access to the overflow message for logging.
successfully. It uses reverse callback ordering, matching the cleanup
pattern already used by `AfterToolCallEvent` and `AfterModelCallEvent`.
Both events are exported from `strands.hooks` alongside the existing events.
Example usage:
```python
from strands import Agent
from strands.hooks import BeforeReduceContextEvent, AfterReduceContextEvent
def on_before(event: BeforeReduceContextEvent) -> None:
print(f"Context reduction starting: {event.exception}")
def on_after(event: AfterReduceContextEvent) -> None:
print("Context reduction complete")
agent = Agent(...)
agent.add_hook(on_before, BeforeReduceContextEvent)
agent.add_hook(on_after, AfterReduceContextEvent)
```
