[stable34] fix(security): don't propagate ValueError from Crypto::decrypt() fallback#61105

…back When decrypting a v3 ciphertext with a mismatched secret, the first attempt throws an Exception (HMAC mismatch). The fallback then calls decryptWithoutSecret() with an empty string, which causes hash_hkdf() to throw a ValueError. Since ValueError extends \Error rather than \Exception, it bypassed the catch block and propagated as an unhandled error, crashing the whole request. Wrap the fallback in its own try/catch(\Throwable) and rethrow the original Exception so callers get a meaningful HMAC mismatch error.
