shoney.arickathil 4f3f71e003 feat(db2-delta): fold a delta chain, route reads through it
- wal.h/wal.c: wo_wal_fold_row_at — THE fold. Walks BACKWARD from an
  offset through WO_WAL_DELTA records, remembering the first value
  seen per field index (newest wins, since newest is seen first),
  stops at the first INSERT/UPDATE, decodes it, overlays resolved
  fields. Returns ENGINE-owned values so reads, replay, and
  compaction (Tasks 3/5) can all build on the same output.
- Cycle guard: caps the walk at what the log up to the starting
  offset could possibly hold (13 = scan_record's own record-size
  floor), so a corrupt or malicious back-pointer fails loudly
  instead of spinning.
- table.c: wo_row_borrow's keys arm now calls the fold instead of
  wo_wal_read_row_at directly, then VM-decodes the result — same
  two-stage pattern wo_wal_read_row_at used internally. Per-table
  scratch, scratch_busy nested-borrow refusal, and the cid/id
  identity check all preserved unchanged.
- resident: all path (wo_row_ptr) untouched.
- test_wal.c: two new tests — deltas on two different fields (changed
  fields take the new value, the untouched field keeps its original)
  and two deltas on the SAME field (the newer wins, pinning direction
  — a reversed fold would pass with the older value instead).
  Verified failing pre-implementation (wo_row_borrow returned NULL
  since a delta record isn't INSERT/UPDATE) and passing after.
