Every IHistorianValueWriter caught Exception and returned false, including
OperationCanceledException from the drain's own token. The recorder's guard
("a cancelled pass is not a tag failure") was therefore dead code: at shutdown
mid-pass each cancelled group could be booked as a consecutive failure and,
with a sibling that already wrote, tip a healthy tag toward quarantine.
SqlServer, QuestDb and Gateway writers now rethrow a cancellation of the
caller's token; a cancellation-shaped error on a live token is still an
ordinary failed write.
The Gateway writer relabelled a Local-kind timestamp as UTC instead of
converting it, so the same value could land at two different times on two
backends. Stamped samples now go through LiveWritePreparer (Local -> UTC,
non-finite doubles not sent, duplicate timestamps keep the first); unstamped
samples are still left for the gateway to stamp, in batch order.
Rebased from the unpushed remed/lane-H2 branch (originally authored 2026-10-22
in session_01Ub9hGmYLQvn9XETzw7CMsT) onto current master.

- I-1: QuestDbConnection caps Npgsql Maximum Pool Size at 24 (DefaultMaxPoolSize)
when the connection string does not set it; an explicit value is kept. The
effective value is logged once at Information.
- M-1: QuestDbTagCatalog.EnsureAsync waits for the tag table's sequenced commits
and re-checks before inserting, so it no longer overwrites a provisioner row
(unit/description) that is committed but not yet applied. Integration test
reproduces the clobber against real QuestDB (falsified).
- M-3: the pre-1970 drop Warning is rate-limited per tag (once per 10 min);
DroppedPre1970 still counts every sample.
- M-5: QuestDbHistorianProvider is IAsyncDisposable/IDisposable and disposes the
shared Npgsql pool; Program.cs registers the provider through a factory and
every seam resolves it from the container, so DI disposes it at shutdown.
- M-8, M-9: docs fixes (HistoryUpdate transaction wording; folded duplicate
HistoryUpdate paragraph). Pool-size docs updated for the new default cap.
