fix(raft-drive-async): fix bug-1376 cold-start self-deadlock, flip peerctrl+snapshot flags ON

Root cause: peer_ctrl_msg_handler held ep->dispatch_inflight incremented
across the entire peer_ctrl_dispatch_to_pool call, including its inline
fallback (the common cold-start shape when ha->pool isn't wired yet). That
inline body can reach raft_cb_become_follower, which -- now that
cluster_init_phase2 ran synchronously earlier in the same call chain and
wired the pool -- tears down its own loser vote-ep (the very ep whose reply
triggered this call) via the deferred path (vote_ep_teardown_async), whose
endpoint_mark_tearing_down spins waiting for dispatch_inflight==0 on that
SAME ep. That count is held only by this exact call, on this exact thread,
and can't reach 0 until the spin itself returns -- a permanent self-deadlock.

Confirmed live via a gdb thread backtrace: added a GDB_WRAP debug seam to
run-ha-soak.sh (launches a named node directly under `gdb --batch` so it
becomes ptrace-legal as gdb's own direct child under yama scope 1, bypassing
a live-attach restriction), then SIGINT to gdb once the log went stale for a
bounded interrupt + full backtrace. The frame dump showed pool=0x0 at
peer_ctrl_dispatch_to_pool, and the same ep pointer in the nested
vote_ep_teardown_async -> endpoint_mark_tearing_down frame, spinning on
sched_yield().

Fix: moved the dispatch_inflight release into peer_ctrl_dispatch_to_pool
itself, at the exact right point per exit path -- released BEFORE calling
the inline body on every fallback path (pool==NULL, OOM, enqueue failure),
since io_worker is single-threaded and the inline path never enqueues
anything (no pool-worker race left to protect against once inline execution
is committed to); released only AFTER the non-blocking enqueue completes on
the success path, preserving the original protection for the genuinely
concurrent pool-worker case.

New unit test test_vep_self_teardown_does_not_deadlock uses a bounded
pthread_timedjoin_np so a regression fails loud instead of hanging the
suite. RED confirmed via a temporary manual revert (ETIMEDOUT) before
restoring the fix.

Live-verified with both flags ON: --force-snapshot soak (the exact repro
shape) completes without hanging across repeated runs, confirms real
snapshot installs, zero divergence, zero job loss; a 6-round --chaotic soak
also passed clean; full controller suite green throughout.

g_drive_async_snapshot_offload and g_drive_async_peerctrl_dispatch_enabled
now default ON in production, closing raft-drive-async tasks 3.1 and 3.2.
g_drive_async_configpush_offload stays OFF -- a distinct, still-open hazard
in push_config_transport_only's endpoint handling (task 3.3, unrelated to
this bug).

/* ── Test (f): bug-1376 SELF-TEARDOWN — must not self-deadlock ─────────────
*
* A node's OWN in-flight peer-control dispatch can, via its routing body,
* decide to tear down the VERY SAME ep the dispatch is currently processing
* (the live signature: a node's own vote-request ep receives the reply that
* makes it become follower, and the loser loop closes that same ep). Before
* the bug-1376 fix, peer_ctrl_msg_handler held ep->dispatch_inflight across
* the ENTIRE inline body call; vote_ep_teardown_async's endpoint_mark_
* tearing_down then spun forever waiting for that same count — held by this
* same thread, unable to decrement until the spin itself returns — a
* permanent self-deadlock. Reproduced with a bounded-timeout join: the
* dispatch runs on a helper thread; the test FAILS (rather than hanging the
* whole suite) if it does not return within the timeout.
