feat: CP11B-3 safe ops — promotion hardening, preflight, manual promote

Six-task checkpoint hardening the promotion and failover paths:

T1: 4-gate candidate evaluation (heartbeat freshness, WAL lag, role,
    server liveness) with structured rejection reasons.
T2: Orphaned-primary re-evaluation on replica reconnect (B-06/B-08).
T3: Deferred timer safety — epoch validation prevents stale timers
    from firing on recreated/changed volumes (B-07).
T4: Rebuild addr cleanup on promotion (B-11), NVMe publication
    refresh on heartbeat, and preflight endpoint wiring.
T5: Manual promote API — POST /block/volume/{name}/promote with
    force flag, target server selection, and structured rejection
    response. Shared applyPromotionLocked/finalizePromotion helpers
    eliminate duplication between auto and manual paths.
T6: Read-only preflight endpoint (GET /block/volume/{name}/preflight)
    and blockapi client wrappers (Preflight, Promote).

BUG-T5-1: PromotionsTotal counter moved to finalizePromotion (shared
    by both auto and manual paths) to prevent metrics divergence.

24 files changed, ~6500 lines added. 42 new QA adversarial tests.
