fix(transaction): recover expired async commit locks

[ariesdevil]

Recover expired async-commit locks by checking all secondary locks before resolving, instead of retrying CheckTxnStatus forever (#528).

Also bundled:

• cleanup_locks: take max with the primary lock's min_commit_ts when computing the commit version from secondaries
• CheckSecondaryLocks merge: return an error instead of panicking on conflicting commit TS across regions

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved recovery of expired asynchronous transaction locks, allowing reads to proceed after interrupted commits.
  • Added safer handling for stale, missing, conflicting, or invalid locks across regions.
  • Improved rollback behavior for transactions with mismatched primary locks.
  • Added clearer protocol-violation errors for invalid transaction responses.
  • Prevented incomplete or unresolved lock states from being incorrectly cached.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for async-commit recovery, rollback scenarios, multi-region transactions, and lock validation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Expired async-commit locks now recover through validated secondary-lock checks. Lock resolution handles rollback, 2PC fallback, region reshaping, and stale pessimistic locks. Tests cover protocol validation, commit-version resolution, cacheability, cleanup isolation, and end-to-end read recovery.

Changes

Async-commit recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Secondary-lock status validation src/common/errors.rs, src/transaction/requests.rs	Adds Error::ProtocolViolation. Secondary-lock responses validate requested keys, duplicate keys, lock counts, and commit timestamps. SecondaryLocksStatus records missing locks and resolves commit versions. Only final transaction statuses remain cacheable.
Expired transaction lock recovery src/transaction/lock.rs	Lock resolution checks secondary locks, derives commit or rollback status, supports 2PC fallback, resolves keys across regions, and handles stale pessimistic-lock mismatches.
End-to-end recovery validation tests/failpoint_tests.rs	Updates lock-count assertions to use transaction timestamps, cleans up failpoints and residual locks, and verifies expired async-commit recovery during an optimistic read.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 545ee

Expired async-commit locks are now recovered by validating all secondary locks before resolving a transaction, which removes indefinite retry loops when reads encounter stale locks, and cleanup now derives the commit timestamp consistently. No outstanding correctness or availability problems were identified in the changed paths, and the new behavior is covered by unit and end-to-end tests.

816-838: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider a set for the requested-key membership check.

requested_keys.contains(&lock.key) scans the vector for every returned lock. A single region can hold many secondary keys of one transaction, so validation becomes quadratic in the shard size. Build one HashSet of the requested keys per response and reuse it. The duplicate check can then reuse the same lookup structure.

♻️ Proposed refactor

-            let mut seen_keys = HashSet::with_capacity(resp.locks.len());
+            let requested: HashSet<&Vec<u8>> = requested_keys.iter().collect();
+            let mut seen_keys = HashSet::with_capacity(resp.locks.len());
             for lock in &resp.locks {
-                if !requested_keys.contains(&lock.key) {
+                if !requested.contains(&lock.key) {
