Add uint32_t dispatch_fail_count to the job_t wrapper struct (xce/types.h,
alongside submit_lsn, same in-memory-only/reset-on-failover precedent),
per Requirement 4.3. Data model only -- xce_job_t (wire type) untouched,
job.c untouched; increment/reset wiring and the bounded-retry threshold
check are tasks 3.1/3.3.

New wal_entry_type WAL_JOB_DISPATCH=12, reusing wal_jobstate_t verbatim
(_pad=0, absolute-value semantics), wired into both apply_wal_entry()'s
and apply_committed_entry()'s existing job-state fall-through groups per
Requirement 2.4. Restart-replay test writes only WAL_JOB_SUBMIT+
WAL_JOB_DISPATCH to a real on-disk WAL and confirms job.state==RUN after
a fresh persist_recover(), independent of WAL_JOB_START.
Review found apply_wal_entry() has zero production call sites today
(persist_recover() and standby catch-up both route through
apply_committed_entry() post the 2026-07-10 ha_apply_single_entry
refactor) -- design.md's stale characterization corrected; the dual
case-label registration itself is unaffected and correct.

Define xce_dispatch_fail_site_t/xce_dispatch_fail_class_t and
xce_classify_dispatch_fail() in job.c, mapping each of dispatch_a_job_()'s
six post-lookup failure points to retryable or terminal per Requirement
4.1/4.2. Standalone, not yet wired into dispatch_a_job_() (deferred to
tasks 3.2/3.3). Also adds this spec's requirements/design/research/tasks
docs (first commit touching this spec).
