Luke Tornquist 113a33b7e4 Add database pressure observability (#6700)
## Why

Database pressure currently collapses several distinct delays into one
symptom. This adds the evidence layer needed to distinguish pool
acquisition wait, logical database operation time, advisory-lock wait,
and selected transaction duration before changing timeout or retry
policy.

This is the phase 2 Lane A observability bundle for
[#26](https://github.com/TheSentinel454/buzz/issues/26),
[#28](https://github.com/TheSentinel454/buzz/issues/28), and
[#33](https://github.com/TheSentinel454/buzz/issues/33). It is stacked
on #6668.

## What

- Record explicit reader/writer checkout wait and acquisition outcomes
with `buzz_db_pool_acquire_wait_seconds` and
`buzz_db_pool_acquisitions_total`.
- Extend the compile-time `#[datastore_span(name = "...")]` seam with
`buzz_db_operation_duration_seconds`, so operation labels remain static
source literals instead of request data.
- Route correctness-critical replacement, membership, push-gate,
deletion, and migration/schema-safety advisory locks through one
observer without changing their SQL, order, scope, or blocking behavior.
- Measure six internally owned transaction lifetimes with
`buzz_db_transaction_duration_seconds`, starting after `BEGIN` succeeds
and ending after explicit commit/rollback or scope exit.
- Emit root slow-operation warnings at 500 ms, logging the first slow
completion and then 1/100 per call site with only `operation`,
`outcome`, and `elapsed_ms`.
- Document names, units, fixed label vocabularies, measurement
boundaries, and blind spots in this PR description.

Fixed labels are deliberately small:

- `pool_role`: `writer`, `reader`
- `lock_type`: `replacement`, `membership`, `push_gate`, `deletion`,
`migration_schema_safety`
- `outcome`: `success`, `error`, `timeout` where SQLx/PostgreSQL can
distinguish it accurately
- `operation`: compile-time datastore names plus the six closed
transaction operation names documented in the runbook

No metric or slow warning contains community IDs, event IDs, event
kinds, coordinates, d-tags, SQL/query text, query IDs, returned errors,
or event content.

## Coverage boundaries

- Operation duration is the complete annotated logical function body,
not pure SQL execution; it may include implicit checkout, lock wait,
nested operations, and application work. Cancelled futures do not reach
its completion hook.
- Pool timing covers explicit helper checkouts, including proved-reader
routing and selected writer-owned transactions. Implicit SQLx checkout
through `&PgPool` remains folded into operation duration.
- Lock timing covers application-side blocking locks in the five named
families. Trigger/stored-procedure locks, channel-TTL locking, the usage
try-lock, and the audit service session lock remain outside this slice.
- Transaction timing covers only the six wholly owned boundaries
documented in the runbook. It excludes pool wait, `BEGIN`, asynchronous
rollback cleanup after an early return, and caller-owned
`Db::begin_transaction` lifetime.

## Relationship to #6229

#6229 is the incident-driven timeout precursor. This PR does not add or
change `statement_timeout`, `lock_timeout`,
`idle_in_transaction_session_timeout`, retries, audit durability, or
client-visible conflicts. It provides the missing distributions needed
to evaluate those policies later and intentionally leaves #6229's open
audit retry/durability finding untouched.

The branches overlap in `crates/buzz-db/src/lib.rs` and
`crates/buzz-db/src/migration.rs`, so a later rebase may need textual
conflict resolution, but the behavior is complementary rather than
duplicated.

## Risk assessment

Moderate-low. The primary risk is instrumentation overhead and added
static series. Cardinality is source-bounded, slow logs are
sampled/redacted root events, and the lock/transaction changes wrap
existing awaits without changing policy or ordering.

- `cargo fmt --all --check` — passed
- `cargo clippy -p buzz-datastore-tracing -p buzz-db -p buzz-audit -p
buzz-search -p buzz-relay --all-targets -- -D warnings` — passed
- `cargo test -p buzz-datastore-tracing --quiet` — 4 passed
- `cargo test -p buzz-db --quiet` — 109 passed, 200 ignored
- `cargo test -p buzz-audit -p buzz-search --quiet` — 16 passed, 25
ignored
- `cargo test -p buzz-relay --lib --quiet -- --test-threads=1` — 906
passed, 48 ignored
- Native PostgreSQL focused tests for pool success/timeout/error, lock
success/contention/timeout/error, replacement, membership serialization,
push ordering, deletion fencing, migration/schema exclusion, and reader
fallback — 8 passed

The default-parallel relay run passed once; subsequent runs exposed the
existing load-sensitive
`api::mesh_demo::tests::demo_join_forwarded_arm_round_trips_echo` 504 at
the end of the suite. That test passes in isolation and the full relay
suite passes serially.

Independent exact-head review workstation:
`buzz-tornquist-db-pressure-observability-review` (`2013067`).
Formatting, the same all-target clippy command, datastore
instrumentation tests, DB unit tests, source privacy guards, and
diff/non-goal audits passed; no review findings.
