db-mode config changes apply live in-process

settings and upstream writes now follow a prepare, commit, publish, retire
contract: candidates are built and validated before the database transaction,
published as infallible pointer swaps, and old generations retire after their
readers drain. per-query policy values snapshot once per query; upstream pool,
cache, rate limiter, sessions, api limiter, log sink, blocklist scheduler and
the query-log queue each gained one named live operation. restart_required
shrinks from every scalar key to the bind keys and web.enabled; the admin ui
drops its restart notices for everything else. file mode is unchanged.
