Maurice ff3615fdf0 feat(db): copy the database before a boot migrates it
Migrations only go forward, and since #2610 an older image refuses a
database a newer one migrated. Going back after a bad update therefore
needs a copy from before it, and the only copies were backups the admin
takes by hand or auto-backup, which is off by default. The first boot
on 4.4 migrates every 4.3.x install through the legacy baseline and the
new migrations without either.

Before applying pending migrations to a file database that holds
anything, the boot now writes a VACUUM INTO copy next to it, named
pre-migrate-<schema>-<time>.db (legacy-<schema_version> for an install
the positional runner left, otherwise the last recorded migration), and
keeps the newest TREK_DB_PRE_MIGRATE_SNAPSHOT_KEEP (3). The copy is
written under a temporary name and renamed, so a crash never leaves a
truncated file that looks good. If it cannot be written the boot refuses
before anything is migrated; TREK_DB_PRE_MIGRATE_SNAPSHOT=false is the
documented way past that. The newer-database refusal names the copy
taken right before the newer release migrated past this one.

A fresh install, a restart with nothing pending, an in-memory database
and a restore's re-bootstrap (the archive is the copy) take none, and
NODE_ENV=test leaves it off unless a suite sets the switch.
