perf(site-runtime): operation tracking store writes off the script thread (single-writer queue, batch per transaction)

A Flow Debugger live run (execution 1130c01f) spent 108 of a 176 ms site script run
between the cached DB write completing and Notify.Send starting: the immediate-
completion telemetry awaited two autocommit SQLite transactions on the consolidated
LocalDb file (RecordAttemptAsync + RecordTerminalAsync), on the script thread, each a
WAL fsync on a Docker volume; the submit row was a third. The audit half of the same
forwarder was already a channel write, so the tracking half was the whole cost.

OperationTrackingStore is now a single-writer queue: Record*Async enqueue an ordered
work item and return; one background pump drains the bounded channel (8192, wait
backpressure - tracking never drops) and applies each batch (<=256) in ONE transaction,
falling back to per-row apply when a batch fails so a poison row cannot take its
neighbours. Preserved invariants: FIFO across enqueue/attempt/terminal; read-your-
writes (GetStatusAsync and ReadChangedSinceAsync barrier on every write queued before
them, skipped when idle) so Tracking.Status, the telemetry actor's status join and
central's PullSiteCalls never see a stale row; timestamps stamped when recorded;
PurgeTerminalAsync returns after the purge lands; DisposeAsync drains the queue before
closing; sync Dispose keeps its documented in-flight-writes-fail semantics. New public
FlushAsync() is the explicit barrier. Accepted: a queued-but-unapplied row is lost on a
hard crash (ms window); S&F buffer and audit rows are unaffected.

No interface, forwarder or ScriptRuntimeContext change. Tests: write returns while
another connection holds the DB write lock and lands once released (fails on the old
store: 31 s); reads see 100 ordered attempts + terminal; DisposeAsync drains 200
queued rows; write after dispose throws ObjectDisposed. Existing tests that poke the
SQLite file right after a store call now FlushAsync first.
