fix(plugin_manager): address PR review — failure timestamp and error context

- Use time.time() at the point of failure instead of reusing current_time
  (captured before execution), so the full retry interval always elapses
  after a timeout rather than one execution-duration shorter

- Add PluginStateManager.set_error_info() to persist structured error context
  without changing plugin state; call it in both failure branches so
  get_error_info() / get_state_info() surface recoverable errors alongside
  ERROR-state errors

- Add warning log on the success=False branch (was previously silent)

- Pass a descriptive Exception (not a generic "Plugin execution failed") to
  health_tracker.record_failure() in the timeout/executor-error path
