8ball: suppress model attribution on fallback, vary fallback responses

Model attribution is now only shown when the LLM actually generated the
response. If the model refused or gave an invalid answer and we fell back
to the static response, no 'via ...' line is shown.

Fallback responses for all three Wynter branches are now randomised pools
so the bot doesn't always give the same flat yes/no phrase regardless of
what Wynter actually typed.
