fix(examples): add rate-limit handling to combined notebook batch eval

Address Greptile feedback on PR #1906 (combined_guardrails_nim.ipynb cell 23).

The batch evaluation loop ran 6 test cases back-to-back with no throttle,
no retry, and no exception handling. Each scenario triggers ~7 sequential
API calls (jailbreak + content safety + topic control + PII input + main
LLM + content safety output + PII output), for ~42 total calls in rapid
succession — reliably exceeding the hosted endpoint's per-minute rate limit.

Add the same three-mechanism robustness pattern used in the single-rail
notebooks:
- Deployment-aware throttle (THROTTLE_S = 0.5 for remote, slightly higher
  than the single-rail 0.3 to account for more calls per scenario)
- Retry-with-exponential-backoff helper (generate_with_retry)
- _Drop429Filter on nemoguardrails.rails.llm.llmrails to suppress verbose
  tracebacks
- Per-scenario try/except so a single failure doesn't crash the batch
