Merge: ext-prop read parser fix + gRPC GetConnectionStatus + SQL-prime result

Fixes the multi-property GetTagExtendedProperties parser (uint16 flags trailer,
captured live), ships GetConnectionStatus over gRPC (plan #5), and records the
negative plan-#4 SQL RegisterTags-prime result.

### 4. (Stretch) SQL server-wall investigation
### 4. (Stretch) SQL server-wall investigation — ❌ RegisterTags prime does NOT help (2026-06-22)
- `ExecuteSqlCommand` over gRPC faults server-side in `CSrvDbConnection.ExecuteSqlCommand`
(IndexOutOfRange / native err 38) — a DB-connection precondition the managed session
doesn't establish. Next avenue: try a `HistoryService.RegisterTags`-family prime before
`ExecuteSqlCommand` (same fix that unblocked the M3 write path / OpenStorageConnection
class of wall). If it works, replace the bounded throw in `HistorianGrpcSqlClient` with
the real GetNextQueryResultBuffer fetch loop (already written there) and flip the test.
(IndexOutOfRange / native err 38). Tried the `HistoryService.RegisterTags`-family prime
before `ExecuteSqlCommand` on both read-only (0x402) and write-enabled (0x401) sessions:
it does **not** clear the wall — `RegisterTags` itself returned false and `ExecuteSqlCommand`
faulted with the identical native-38 error (decoded buffer: `...CSrvDbConnection.ExecuteSqlCommand
... System.IndexOutOfRangeException`). So unlike OpenStorageConnection, the SQL DB-connection
context is NOT established by the RegisterTags family. The op stays bounded behind
`ProtocolEvidenceMissingException`; use WCF for SQL. Remaining avenues are deeper (reproduce
the server-side DB connection-string/index setup the native client triggers) — low priority.
### 5. (Optional) GetConnectionStatus over gRPC
- Currently WCF-only, synthesized from an authenticated probe (no dedicated RPC either
transport). Could synthesize the same over gRPC via `StatusService.PingServer` /
`GetHistorianConsoleStatus`. Low value; do only if parity is wanted.
### 5. GetConnectionStatus over gRPC — ✅ DONE 2026-06-22
- `HistorianGrpcStatusClient.GetConnectionStatusAsync` synthesizes the status from a measured
gRPC handshake (OpenConnection yielding a storage-session GUID ⇒ connected), mirroring the WCF
synthesize-from-probe approach. Routed in `Historian2020ProtocolDialect` on `UseGrpc` (the WCF
path used the MDAS binding, which can't reach the gRPC port). Live-verified; store-forward
connectivity stays false (D2-gated). Gated test `GetConnectionStatusAsync_OverGrpc_ReportsConnected`.
