QuestDB modified-history reads dropped every still-pending trail row that was
not the latest at its source time, so V0->V1 (applied marker never written)
followed by V1->V2 hid the V0->V1 change for good. A pending row below the
latest is now served when the NEXT trail row at that time recorded a different
prior value (kind, value, status or the prior's server_ts) - the next change saw
what this one wrote; an orphan of a change that never landed leaves the same
prior for the next row and stays hidden. QuestDB window functions reject
VARCHAR, so the next row's prior comes from a LEFT JOIN on (ts, lead(id)).
The updater's comment and marker-failure log no longer claim modified reads
"still serve it" unconditionally.
Regression tests (QuestDB 10.0.1 throwaway container): marker lost then a
replace / delete at the same time; an orphan followed by a marker-lost retry
then a later change (orphan still dropped); the random marker-mix fuzz now
varies the recorded priors. All four fail on the old filter.
NITs:
- SqlServerHistorianValueWriter: a SqlException raised while the token is
cancelled (SqlClient's "Operation cancelled by user") is rethrown as
OperationCanceledException instead of booked as a failed write. Integration
test holds a TABLOCKX on Sample and cancels mid-INSERT; it returned false before.
- SqlServerHistorianDataUpdater.DeleteRawBatches is an Interlocked counter.
- HistoryReadEvents: an event filter whose SDK validation throws (unknown
operator) failed with the generic BadUnexpectedError; the node manager now
re-throws any failed event-filter validation as BadEventFilterInvalid.

Moves the database-independent logic of the SQL Server historian backend into a new
shared library for the upcoming QuestDB backend (#666): status codes and bits, value/column
mapping, StoredSample + quality clamp, the AtTime and aggregate evaluators, BucketPlan,
LiveWritePreparer and HistoryUpdatePlanner (both with a resolutionTicks parameter, default 1),
tag-name rules, the bootstrap failure cache, health counters, alarm event ids, the event
continuation and severity clamp. The SQL Server backend now calls it; its T-SQL, TVP
builders, connection, bootstrapper and catalog stay.
Tests: StatusCodeOracleTests, ValueWriterPrepareTests, the column half of SampleRowMapperTests
and ProcessedReadTests.Every_enum_member_is_either_served_or_refused move to the new
Sql.Common.Tests under the same names. SqlServer integration tests get mechanical renames
only. Test-name set across the three projects is identical to the baseline (160 tests).

- I-1: an Empty sample is always Bad. The writer stores a non-Bad NaN/Inf as
Empty+BadOutOfRange and any other non-Bad Empty as BadNoData; the updater
refuses a non-Bad Empty with BadInvalidArgument; reads clamp a legacy
non-Bad Empty row to BadNoData (Raw and AtTime).
- Tag/source names over 400 chars are refused, never truncated: writer
per-tag failure, updater BadInvalidArgument, reads not-found, events none.
- HistorianInfoBits masks the historian bits before setting one.
- AtTime past now, stepped from the last sample => UncertainDataSubNormal.
- Bootstrapper: logger, 5 s negative cache, ClearPool + Warning when
sp_releaseapplock fails.
- Provider builds its shared state lazily (an invalid Schema no longer
throws at Resolve); Kinds is a FrozenSet; Gateway reuses the recorder's
DefaultSupportedKinds.
- Cleanup: SqlHistorianDataTypes in its own file (updater dup removed),
dead Invalidate and unused status consts deleted, named severity masks,
alarm writer brace.
