fix: stored logs keep bad rows, erased accounts and unconsented queries out

Deep-review round 1 of E22.

- A NUL character (`GET /assets/%00` logs the decoded path) made Postgres
  refuse the row and with it the sink's whole batch, every user's rows
  included. `to_row` replaces NUL in every text column and in attrs.
- An erased account's lines kept arriving after purge_user's DELETE: the
  erasing request's own access line, a queued row, a background task.
  `logs.forget_user` runs first; later rows are stored without the account,
  and the check and the insert share a lock with the erasure.
- An admin setting the whole process to TRACE logged every user's query
  string. The query is now logged only under the user's own Teljes consent,
  and decoded before redaction, so `%40` no longer hides an address.
- The browser log ingest has an hourly storage budget per account (5 MiB,
  one notice when spent) and reads only a JSON Content-Type, so a
  same-site text/plain form post cannot write into a user's log.
  RateLimiter takes a per-attempt cost for the byte budget.
- The root level is applied under the elevation lock: two concurrent
  changes could leave it at the base while an elevation was active.
- Tests for the running sink (level gate, drain on stop) and for the
  admin log level applied at runtime and at boot.
