rust volume: quick-repair redb on durable checkpoints (#11203)

* rust volume: insert redb rebuilds in needle-id order

Unlink the .rdb before create (create does not truncate). Collapse
last-write-wins, then insert live keys sorted so 4.2.0 packs leaves.

* rust volume: rebuild redb from a BTreeMap and clear leftover keys

Peak rebuild memory is one ordered map instead of HashMap + Vec +
stable-sort scratch. Unlink stays best-effort: if it fails, retain
clears the leftover table before sorted insert. Compute idx metrics
before the write so a read error does not unlink a committed .rdb.

* rust volume: drop the extra redb read transaction on put/delete

put uses insert()'s previous value. delete gets then inserts the
tombstone in the same write transaction. Truncate the .idx row on
any failed redb write after the append.

* rust volume: unpack redb blobs through packed_to_needle_value

save_to_idx, ascending_visit, and collect_entries used the same
length-check copy as get. Route them through the helper so a
wrong-length value is absent everywhere, not a panic.

* rust volume: quick-repair redb on durable checkpoints

set_quick_repair(true) on the durable checkpoint transaction so an
OOM-killed volume server opens without a full-file repair scan.

* rust volume: reopen redb from .idx on non-poisoned commit error

redb 4.2.0 can make a Durability::None commit visible before returning
Err(CommitError::Storage(..)). In that state the database refuses further
write transactions, so truncating the .idx row (the old behavior) would
leave a redb-only put or tombstone that the stored idx_size makes the
reload skip.

Distinguish CommitError::TransactionPoisoned (txn rolled back, db still
usable -- truncate the orphan .idx row as before) from other commit errors
(change may be visible, db refuses writes -- keep the .idx row, close the
database, and reopen from .idx to repair redb's internal state).

db becomes Option<Database> so reopen_from_idx can drop the old file lock
before load_from_idx opens the same path. rdb_path, version, and
cache_bytes are stored so the reopen uses the same configuration.

* rust volume: truncate .idx row when redb is closed in put

put appends the .idx entry before acquiring the write transaction.
When db_or_err() fails (db is None after a failed reopen), the ?
returned without calling truncate_idx_to_offset, so a write reported
failed remained in the authoritative .idx and was replayed on restart.

Handle db_or_err() explicitly and truncate the orphan .idx row before
returning the error, matching the existing handling for begin_write,
open_table, and insert failures.
