fix(high-severity): close 9 of 10 open High findings across 8 modules

Comm-016: delete dead HandleConnectionStateChanged + _debugSubscriptions /
_inProgressDeployments tracking + ConnectionStateChanged message record.
Disconnect detection is owned by the transport layers (gRPC keepalive PING
~25s; Ask-timeout at CommunicationService). Updates the
Component-Communication.md design doc to make that explicit.

SnF-018: NotificationForwarder.DeliverAsync now discards a corrupt buffered
payload (Warning log + return true) instead of returning false and parking
the row — honoring the design's "notifications do not park" invariant.

DM-018: reconciliation no longer force-sets Enabled, preserving an
intentional Disabled state after central failover.

ESG-018: DeliverBufferedAsync (both ExternalSystemClient + DatabaseGateway)
catches JsonException and returns false, turning a corrupt buffered row
into a parked operation instead of a retry-forever poison message.

InboundAPI-022: register ActiveNodeGate as IActiveNodeGate in the Central
DI branch so standby-node gating is actually wired up in production.

NS-019: remove orphaned NotificationDeliveryService /
INotificationDeliveryService / NotificationResult; central notification
delivery now lives entirely in NotificationOutbox.

SEL-016: normalise From/To filters to UTC before ISO-string compare so
non-UTC DateTimeOffset clients no longer get spuriously excluded events.

TE-017: include Description on attributes/alarms and a HashableConnections
projection (protocol, endpoint JSON, failover count) in the revision hash
and DiffService; staleness detection now catches description-only and
connection-endpoint edits.

Transport-001 and Transport-002 (also High) remain Open — they're being
handled in a follow-up batch because both touch BundleImporter.cs and
must serialise.

**Resolution** — Wrapped the `JsonSerializer.Deserialize<...>(message.PayloadJson)` call in both `ExternalSystemClient.DeliverBufferedAsync` and `DatabaseGateway.DeliverBufferedAsync` in a `try`/`catch (JsonException)` block. A `JsonException` is by definition permanent (the same payload bytes always deserialize identically), so the catch branch logs at `LogError` and returns `false`, parking the message via the S&F engine instead of letting it throw and be retried as a transient failure. Regression tests `DeliverBuffered_MalformedJsonPayload_ReturnsFalseSoMessageParks` were added to both `ExternalSystemClientTests` and `DatabaseGatewayTests` — each feeds a truncated `PayloadJson` to the handler and asserts `delivered == false` and that no exception escapes.
