Optimize ModelProviderCredentialRequest.validate_provider

The optimization achieves a **31% speedup** through two key changes:

1. **Module-level caching**: Moves the expensive `get_model_provider_metadata().keys()` call from inside the validator to module load time, storing it in `_VALID_PROVIDERS`. This eliminates repeated calls to what appears to be a costly metadata retrieval function every time validation occurs.

2. **Set-based membership testing**: Converts the provider keys to a `set` instead of using a `list`, changing the membership test from O(n) to O(1) complexity. This is particularly beneficial when there are many supported providers.

The optimization is most effective for scenarios with:
- **Repeated validations**: Multiple provider validations benefit from the one-time metadata fetch
- **Large provider lists**: The set lookup becomes increasingly advantageous as the number of supported providers grows (as shown in the `test_large_number_of_providers_invalid` test case)
- **High-frequency validation paths**: Any code path that validates providers multiple times sees cumulative benefits

The cached approach trades a small amount of memory for significant runtime improvement, while maintaining identical validation behavior and error messages.
