core/txpool/blobpool: fix gapped queue size cap (#34831)

the gapped queue cap was effectively per-sender rather than total — a
sender pool spread across enough distinct addresses could grow
`p.gapped` well past `maxGapped`, defeating the resource bound.

`maxGapped` was being compared against `len(p.gapped)`, which is a
`map[address][]tx` and counts unique senders, not queued txs. Switched
the check to `len(p.gappedSource)` (keyed by tx hash, so its length is
the real total). Also wired up a `blobpool/gapped/count` gauge plus
`promoted`, `evicted`, and `gappedfull` meters so queue size and churn
are actually observable in prod.
