Sanitize broker URL in delayed delivery logs (avoid leaking credentials) #9997

Sanitize broker URLs in Celery's delayed delivery debug logs by wrapping `connection.as_uri()` with `maybe_sanitize_url()` from Kombu. This prevents user:password credentials from being printed in logs, even at DEBUG level. This improves security and aligns Celery with common logging best practices (no secrets in logs). No functional behavior is changed.

Very important fix!! 🚨
Thank you!
Is it possible to add a test to avoid future regression?

Description
Celery currently logs the full broker URL—including username and password— inside the
DelayedDeliveryconsumer:This leaks credentials in logs and violates standard security guidance (OWASP: no secrets in logs).
Solution
Kombu already provides
maybe_sanitize_url()for this purpose, but it wasn’t used here.
