Subject: devtools: add Vertex AI to review scripts

This patch adds Google Vertex AI authentication support to the AI review
scripts as an alternative to direct API key authentication.

Does this code properly handle partial import failures? If the first
import succeeds but the second fails, VERTEX_AI_AVAILABLE will remain
undefined, causing a NameError.

Does this function handle exceptions from google_auth_default() or
credentials.refresh()? These could fail with various authentication
errors that would propagate uncaught.

Can credentials be None after google_auth_default()? The code assumes
credentials exists when calling refresh().

Does this function silently suppress all exceptions from
google_auth_default()? This could hide configuration issues that users
should know about. Should authentication errors be logged?

Does this code modify the caller's request_data dictionary? The function
mutates request_data["model"] which could be unexpected behavior. Should
the function create a copy?

Does this code handle the case where get_vertex_credentials() returns
None for project_id, and neither environment variable is set? The next
line would use None in the URL construction.

Can access_token be None? The code doesn't validate before using it in
the Authorization header.

Does this code handle invalid location values? A malicious or malformed
CLOUD_ML_REGION could construct an invalid URL.

Does this code mutate the caller's request_data in multiple places
(anthropic_version, model)? This side effect isn't documented in the
function docstring.

Does this code handle the case where error_data is an empty list? The
"and error_data" check prevents the assignment, but then error() is
called with the original list.

Can error_data[0] be missing the 'error' key? The next line assumes
error_data is a dictionary.

Is this TimeoutError catch block unreachable? The URLError handler above
already checks for TimeoutError in e.reason, and URLError would wrap the
TimeoutError.

Does the patch document the required google-auth library installation in
any build documentation or requirements file? Users might not see this
error message until runtime.
