Ettore Di Giacinto 44cb495169 feat(distributed): move the last nine fan-out families onto PostgreSQL
Gallery progress and cancel, the operation cache's start and end, the model
and backend cache invalidations, staging progress, and the prefix cache's
observations and invalidations now travel on the LISTEN/NOTIFY carrier. No
subject is published or subscribed on messaging.Client anywhere in the tree,
which is what makes retiring that package a deletion rather than a migration:

  $ grep -rn 'natsClient\.Publish\|nats\.Publish\|\.Nats\.Publish\|QueueSubscribe\|SubscribeReply\|\.Request(' \
      --include='*.go' core/ pkg/ | grep -v _test \
    | grep -v 'c\.Request()\|ctx\.Request()\|Request()\.Context' \
    | grep -v 'core/services/testutil/fakebus.go'
  core/services/messaging/client.go:168,170,172,227,234,236,250,252,254,268,269,287
  core/services/messaging/interfaces.go:21,22,23

Every remaining hit is inside core/services/messaging itself. The production
reads of the NATS client are now three, all of them the documented agent-worker
exception: Close on shutdown, the agent pool's publisher, and the agent-cancel
carrier passed to newFanoutBridges.

Prefix-cache observations publish like every other family rather than through a
method that refuses a message too large for a notification. The plan proposed
such a refusal on the reasoning that a long prompt makes a chain of thousands of
entries; ExtractChain caps a chain at Config.MaxDepth blocks, MaxDepth is a
constant with no operator knob, and the chain reaching Sync.Observe has one
source, the router's own extraction hook. A worst-case observation is a few
kilobytes against an 8000-byte cap, so the hot-path spill the refusal was
designed to avoid cannot occur, and shipping it would have added the programme's
only deliberate message drop to guard a condition that cannot arise. pgbus gains
FitsInline instead, a predicate that shares one size decision with Publish and
decides nothing, and core/application refuses at startup to wire a prefix cache
whose configured depth would put every observation over the cap.

The carrier choice is no longer stated at four sites. StagingTracker.SetPublisher
and SubscribeBroadcasts become one SetBroadcaster, so a tracker that publishes
where its peers are not listening cannot be spelled; prefixcache.Sync gains
SubscribeBroadcasts, which reads the carrier it publishes on; and the gallery
service and the operation cache are wired by methods on DistributedServices that
name no carrier at all, so the NATS client beside it cannot be handed over.
OpCache.SetMessagingClient and GalleryService.SetNATSClient are renamed to
SetBroadcaster so a missed call site fails to compile.

Two pre-existing defects that the two-real-carrier specs surfaced are fixed. A
progress tick published before a cancel and delivered after it cleared Cancelled
and left the operation reading as still running on that replica; mergeStatus now
drops a stale tick rather than merging it. GetStatus and GetAllStatus handed out
the stored OpStatus pointer while the broadcast subscribers mutated it in place,
so an /api/operations response could be marshalled mid-write; both now copy.
