fix(erasure): harden per adversarial review (Subsystem 5)

6 confirmed findings (review wqrd2gka3), 3 root-cause fixes:

- HIGH: execute_erasure had no status recheck and the sweeper's SKIP LOCKED row
  lock was released before execution (separate connection), so (a) a request
  CANCELLED after the sweep's SELECT was still executed, and (b) a fleet could
  double-execute one erasure (duplicate hash-chained audit row, double count).
  Fixed by making execution atomically CLAIM the row as its first statement —
  `UPDATE ... SET status='completed' WHERE id=$1 AND status='confirmed'
  RETURNING user_id` — and skipping (returns false) when 0 rows match. Only the
  first executor of a still-confirmed request proceeds; a cancelled/already-done
  row is a no-op; on any later failure the whole tx (claim included) rolls back.
- account-existence oracle: the absent-user request path returned a FRESH random
  erasure_id + advancing scheduled_for each call, while a real account returned a
  STABLE get-or-create id — a re-call distinguisher. The request response is now
  constant-shape: a STABLE id (real, or a deterministic integrity-secret-keyed
  synthetic for the absent path), a fixed "pending" status, and NO scheduled_for
  (it's meaningful only at confirm, where grace starts, and is returned there).
- config: ERASURE_GRACE_PERIOD_HOURS is bounded (<= 10 years) in validate(), so
  the u64->i64 cast can't wrap negative (defeating grace) and Duration::hours
  can't panic.

Dismissed after verification: ERASURE_ENABLED without FEATURE_NOSTR_IDENTITY
(validate already requires PUBLIC_API_URL; the nostr_identity coupling is a
nicety). Tests extended: cancelled-request-not-executed (HIGH regression),
double-execute no-op. 140 lib + 140 integration green, no drift, scans clean.
