fix(libxce-failover): classify and propagate netio I/O errors on failover

Add io_classify_io_error and propagate endpoint/epoll errors through
endpoint_update_epoll and cbuf_get instead of swallowing them, so client
failover surfaces the real error rather than hanging. Adds netio arm-failure,
close-propagation, and request send-propagation tests.

Pre-existing uncommitted work, committed to establish a clean baseline before
ha-commit-durability implementation.

/*
* test_netio_arm_failure.c — libxce-failover: a poll-arm failure must fail LOUD.
*
* Root cause (bug-646): endpoint_update_epoll() swallowed iomgr_update_poll()
* (EPOLL_CTL_MOD) failures — it logged "rc1=-1 < 0" but returned 0 and left the
* poll interest unarmed. On the synchronous client send path (endpoint_enq),
* a failed arm meant the request bytes were never flushed, no reply ever
* arrived, and the caller blocked forever in cbuf_get() while a perfectly
* healthy io_worker slept in epoll_wait(). (EPOLL_CTL_MOD fails with ENOENT
* when the fd is no longer registered — e.g. after a failed reconnect.)
*
* Contract under test: when the poll interest cannot be armed, endpoint_enq()
* must (1) return a negative, RETRIABLE error so the caller propagates it
* (request.c senders return it; the client failover loop rotates — bug-650),
* and (2) must NOT synchronously invoke the endpoint's err_handler. endpoint_enq
* runs on the caller's thread, which may already hold a lock the err_handler
* needs (the controller's primary_heartbeat_fn holds ha->lock and
* vote_ep_err_handler re-acquires it → self-deadlock, bug-652). The real
