feat: store warnings and request lines in log_events

The log now has a stored, queryable copy for the diagnostics console:
every WARNING and above plus the request line of every request, kept
for log_retention_days (default 7, no "forever") and pruned hourly by
the new log_gc job.

Rows are built on the logging thread from the same redacted fields as
the stdout line, queued without blocking and written in batches by one
background thread on its own connection. A full queue or a failed write
drops and reports instead of retrying. Flood control keeps 30 of any
one message per minute plus a count of the rest; anonymous request
lines are capped at 60 a minute per client, and the client address is
never stored. Deleting an account deletes its stored events.

Measured on prod first: a YouTube RSS outage wrote 11k warnings in four
hours, one per channel per poll. The poll now writes one warning with
per-reason counts and a few examples, and a failure on our side gets
one traceback per poll instead of one per channel.

"""The `log_events` sink (E22 S3): the stored copy of the log the diagnostics console reads.
stdout stays the complete log (docker keeps 3×50 MB of it); this table keeps the part worth querying
for `log_retention_days`:
* every WARNING and above,
* the `http.request` line of every request at INFO or above (not the DEBUG-level health checks and
static files),
* nothing a caller marked `extra={logs.PERSIST: False}` — how the request log caps anonymous
traffic per client.
What the table must never do is slow down or break the code that logs. So a line is redacted and
turned into a row on the CALLER's thread (the same `logs.record_fields` the stdout line is built
from), put on a bounded queue without blocking, and written in batches by one background thread
on its own connection — never inside a request's transaction. A full queue drops the row and
counts it; a failed write drops the batch and says so on stderr. Both are reported rather than
retried: a log that retries into a sick database is how a small outage becomes a big one.
Flood control is the second half. On 2026-09-16 a YouTube RSS outage made prod log 11k near-identical
warnings in four hours. stdout keeps them all; the table keeps `REPEATS_PER_MINUTE` of each message
template per minute and one `log.repeats_suppressed` row saying how many more there were.
Core layer: imports `logs`, `db`, `models`, `config` — nothing above them.
