metadb: add optional fast restart path that skips storage walk when (version + commit + storage config) matches metaDB stamp (#4026)

* feat(metadb): add optional fast restart path that skips storage walk when binary identity matches metaDB stamp

binary identity is determined by the current release tag/commit and stored in metaDB after a successful storage parse. When fast restart is enabled, the next startup will skip the parse if the stored identity matches the current binary

* fix(meta): skip writer-version stamp when storage parse is incomplete

ParseStorage returns nil even when individual repos fail to parse or are only partially parsed (a missing manifest blob), so MaybeParseStorage would stamp a partially-populated metaDB as good. On the next restart fastRestart trusts the stamp, skips the storage walk, and never recovers.

Track per-repo outcomes via parseStats and stamp only when the walk fully populated the metaDB, otherwise log and continue so the next restart reparses

also replaces the version/commit tracking to use BinaryVersion instead of WriterVersion

This should make things more clear

This is not a per-subpath setting
