fix(audit-log): reconciliation pulls fail over to site NodeB when NodeA is unreachable

SiteEntry gains an additive FallbackGrpcEndpoint; SiteEnumerator now picks NodeA
else NodeB as primary (a NodeB-only site is no longer skipped) and carries a
distinct NodeB as the fallback. Both GrpcPull{AuditEvents,SiteCalls} clients dial
the primary first and, on a transport fault (Unavailable/DeadlineExceeded/
Cancelled/HttpRequestException/SocketException/OperationCanceled), fail over to
NodeB once before collapsing to empty — a mapping/unexpected fault does NOT fail
over. Keeps the reconciliation loss-recovery net available during a NodeA outage.

+**Endpoint resolution & NodeB failover.** Each pull dials the site's `NodeA`
+gRPC address first; if `NodeA` is blank the site's `NodeB` address becomes the
+primary (a NodeB-only site is no longer skipped — only a site with *both*
+addresses blank is). When a distinct `NodeB` address also exists it is carried
+as a fallback: a transport fault against the primary (site offline, deadline
+exceeded, cancelled, connection error) fails over to `NodeB` ONCE before
+collapsing to an empty batch. So during a NodeA outage the loss-recovery net
+stays available. The failover is scoped to transport faults — a
+mapping/unexpected fault collapses to empty without a second dial (the other
+node would hit the same fault). The same resolution + failover applies to Site
+Call Audit's `PullSiteCalls`.
