fix(controller): debounce RDHUP-triggered failover — stop the term-escalation storm (bug-1310, task 5.10b)

Browse source 
A dead primary's control fd RDHUPs faster than an election settles. The 5.6
guard only drops an RDHUP while the role is instantaneously CTRL_ELECTING/
prevote; an RDHUP landing in the gap after a lost election (role briefly back
to CTRL_STANDBY) re-triggers a fresh ha_begin_failover -> PreVote -> real
election (term++). One bump per RDHUP -> unbounded escalation under a sustained
cadence (observed round 4: 48 begin_failovers, terms 6->24, round overran the
harness window).

Fix: ha_state_t.last_failover_ms (atomic) stamped at ha_begin_failover;
ha_on_primary_ctrl_fd_rdhup drops an RDHUP within 2*election_timeout_ms of the
last trigger (closes the dead fd, returns) so the election's own jittered retry
(5.7) runs without the external RDHUP cadence adding term bumps. First trigger
never debounced; genuine loss still fails over, at most once per window.

Validation: unit-proven — test_rdhup_within_cooldown_is_debounced (recent
last_failover -> stays CTRL_STANDBY) vs test_rdhup_single_node_reaches_primary
(last_failover=0 -> CTRL_PRIMARY) is a differential proof. Soak: 10/10 elect,
terms 4->14 bounded, begin_failover 14/14/12 (was 48), committed_job_loss=0, no
regression. The stochastic storm did not recur this run (debounce fired 0x), so
soak-reproduction of the storm is still pending; the mechanism rests on the
unit test. Election suites green (rdhup 8/0, prevote 12/0, core_safety 24/0,
election 28/0, failover_prevote 6/0).
