Stack 7/7 — "Load more" pagination fixes.

  • Problem: a short page hides the "Load more" buttons.
  • Cause: the rules still read a short page as "no more data". Now it only means a quiet window.
  • Fix: take the cursor from the returned rows, not from the sentinel row.
  • Remove next_exhausted? and the helpers that kept it.
  • A button now hides in two cases only: the view tails, or it has no cursor.

Paging moves by a fixed window now, so a page that comes back short means the
window was quiet, not that the source has nothing more. The visibility rules
still came from the old sentinel model and read a short page as the end of the
line.

`page_cursors/3` takes the previous cursor from the rows it returned instead of
from the 101st sentinel row, so a quiet window no longer clears the cursor and
takes the top button away. `next_exhausted?` leaves `EventPagination` along
with `complete_initial/2`, `complete_page/3` and `complete_tail/2`, which
existed only to maintain it, and `next_page_available?/4` leaves the LiveView:
a range that ends in the future is fine and should not hide the button that
would move it further.

A button now hides in exactly two cases: the view is tailing, or it has no
cursor at all.

A short page now means the window was quiet, not that the source has no
older events. The e2e test still expected the button to disappear.

Squashes the nine-PR load more stack into one commit: #3976, #3977, #3978,
#3979, #3980, #3981, #3982, #3984 and #3986. Merged as a unit so that main
never carries the intermediate states that #3984 corrects.

Pagination

- Keep the "Load more" spinner up until the page query returns.
- Bound a page request to the window in view and say so on the button.
- Store one page window per search in `EventPagination`. The label, the
  query, the cursor shift and the range growth all read it. The window no
  longer doubles on each click.
- Set the page window from a tail result too. A soft pause, play and pause
  used to leave the window nil and drop the next page request.
- Write an implied timestamp range into the query on a page request.
- Keep a one-sided `t:` bound when a page request makes the range explicit.
- Clamp a "next" range extension at now. Each empty click used to push the
  range max another window into the future.
- Cap the cursor of an empty "next" page at the request time.
- Remove timestamp clauses that can never match.
- Stop hiding the load more buttons on a short page.
- Disable the other button while a page request runs.
- Drop a page result or page error that no request waits for.
- Clear the page spinner when a search fails to parse.
- Log a page request that the LiveView drops.

Scrolling

- The LiveView drives every scroll. Every initial event page and every tail
  append pushes `scroll-to-bottom`. The server owns scroll intent. The hook
  owns viewport stability.

Cleanup

- Remove the unused sentinel row: the extra fetched row, `fetch_limit/0`
  and the `has_more?` field that nothing reads.
- Build the chart range in the search timezone. An implied range is no
  longer UTC written as local time.
- Remove the 750ms LiveView latency simulator in dev.

Tests

- Cover event pagination against a bigquery source and a postgres source.

Merged as part of the squashed stack in #3986, which landed on main as 9c9913b. The whole stack merged as one unit so that main never carried the intermediate states that #3984 corrects. This PR's commits are all included there.
