feat(ha-heartbeat-committed-propagation): migrate last_known_committed_config_tag to _Atomic (task 1.1)

Mirror the sibling last_known_committed_lsn: all writes release, reads acquire.
Prereq for a heartbeat-receive writer + the ctrlstatus reader to interact
safely (Req 2.3). Pure access migration, no behavior change; controller suite
0 failures.

 > The work runs along a single request path (atomic migration → libxce sender → primary stamp / standby consume → vote-floor verification → E2E), so tasks are sequential by design; no `(P)` markers. The two foundation tasks (1.1 atomic migration, 1.2 sender) touch independent files but are kept ordered for review simplicity. The HA-critical change is the standby consume + term-guard (task 2.2) and its vote-floor interaction (task 3.2).
 
 - [ ] 1. Foundation: atomic state + heartbeat sender
-- [ ] 1.1 Migrate `last_known_committed_config_tag` to `_Atomic`
+- [x] 1.1 Migrate `last_known_committed_config_tag` to `_Atomic`
   - Change `ha->last_known_committed_config_tag` from a plain `uint64_t` to `_Atomic uint64_t` (`src/controller/include/ha.h`) and update its existing writers — `cluster_apply_ctrlhello_reply` (`ha_convergence.c`) and the election safe-commit path (`ha.c`) — to `atomic_store_explicit(..., release)`, and any reader (incl. the controller-status `ctrlstatus_fill`) to `atomic_load_explicit(..., acquire)`. Pure type/access migration — no behavior change.
   - Observable: the controller suite builds clean and passes unchanged; every read/write of the field uses atomic accessors (no plain access remains).
   - _Requirements: 2.3_
