ci: shard server Postgres tests into 4 parallel runners (#35739)
* ci: add test sharding plumbing to server CI

Add infrastructure for upcoming test sharding without changing behavior:

- Add shard-index and shard-total inputs to server-test-template.yml
  (defaults preserve existing single-runner behavior)
- Add timing cache restore step (activates only when shard-total > 1)
- Add merge-postgres-test-results job to server-ci.yml that:
  - Merges JUnit XML reports from shard artifacts
  - Saves timing data cache for future shard balancing
  - Handles both single-artifact and multi-shard scenarios
- Add .gitignore entries for timing cache and shard work files

* ci: shard server Postgres tests into 4 parallel runners

Extract sharding logic into standalone, tested scripts and enable
4-shard parallel test execution for server Postgres CI:

Scripts:
- server/scripts/shard-split.js: Node.js bin-packing solver that
  assigns test packages to shards using timing data from previous runs.
  Two-tier strategy: light packages (<2min) whole, heavy packages
  (api4, app) split at individual test level.
- server/scripts/run-shard-tests.sh: Multi-run wrapper that calls
  gotestsum directly for each package group with -run regex filters.
- server/scripts/shard-split.test.js: 8 test cases covering round-robin
  fallback, timing-based balancing, heavy package splitting, JUnit XML
  fallback, and enterprise package separation.

Workflow changes:
- server-test-template.yml: Add shard splitting step that discovers test
  packages and runs the solver. Modified Run Tests step to use wrapper
  script when sharding is active.
- server-ci.yml: Add 4-shard matrix to test-postgres-normal. Update
  merge job artifact patterns for shard-specific names.

Performance: 7.2 min with timing cache vs 62.5 min baseline = 88%
wall-time improvement. First run without cache uses JUnit XML fallback
or round-robin, then populates the cache for subsequent runs.

* fix: raise heavy package threshold to 5 min to preserve test isolation

sqlstore integrity tests scan the entire database and fail when other
packages' test data is present. At 182s, sqlstore was just over the
120s threshold and getting split at test level. Raising to 300s keeps
only api4 (~38 min) and app (~15 min) as heavy — where the real
sharding gains are — while sqlstore, elasticsearch, etc. stay whole
and maintain their test isolation guarantees.

* ci: only save test timing cache on default branch

PR branches always restore from master's timing cache via restore-keys
prefix matching. Timing data is stable day-to-day so this eliminates
cache misses on first PR runs and reduces cache storage.

* ci: skip FIPS tests on PRs (enterprise CI handles compile check)

Per review feedback: the enterprise CI already runs a FIPS compile
check on every PR. Running the full FIPS test suite on PRs is redundant
since it uses the identical test suite as non-FIPS — the only
FIPS-specific failure mode is a build failure from non-approved crypto
imports, which the enterprise compile check catches.

Full FIPS tests continue to run on every push to master.

* fix: address review feedback on run-shard-tests.sh

- Remove set -e so all test runs execute even if earlier ones fail;
  track failures and exit with error at the end (wiggin77)
- Remove unused top-level COVERAGE_FLAG variable (wiggin77)
- Fix RUN_IDX increment position so report, json, and coverage files
  share the same index (wiggin77)
- Update workflow comment: heavy threshold is 5 min, not 2 min (wiggin77)

* style: use node: prefix for built-in fs module in shard-split.js

* fix: avoid interpolating file paths into generated shell script

Read shard package lists from files at runtime instead of interpolating
them into the generated script via printf. This prevents theoretical
shell metacharacter injection from directory names, as flagged by
DryRun Security.

* fix(ci): rename merged artifact to match server-ci-report glob

The merged artifact was named postgres-server-test-logs-merged which
does not match the *-test-logs pattern in server-ci-report.yml,
causing Postgres test results to be missing from PR/commit reports.

Also pins junit-report-merger to exact version 7.0.0 for supply chain
safety.

* fix(ci): pass RACE_MODE env into Docker container

RACE_MODE was set on the host runner but never included in the docker
run --env list. The light-package path worked because the heredoc
expanded on the host, but run-shard-tests.sh reads RACE_MODE at
runtime inside the container where it was unset. This caused heavy
packages (api4, app) to silently lose -race detection.

* fix(ci): discover new tests in heavy packages not in timing cache

Tests not present in the timing cache (newly added or renamed) would
not appear in any shard -run regex, causing them to silently skip.
After building items from the cache, run go test -list to discover
current test names and assign any cache-missing tests to shards via
the normal bin-packing algorithm with a small default duration.

* fix(ci): add missing line continuation backslash in docker run

The previous --env FIPS_ENABLED line was missing a trailing backslash
after adding --env RACE_MODE, causing docker run to see a truncated
command and fail with "requires at least 1 argument".

* fix(ci): add setup-go step for shard test discovery

go test -list in shard-split.js runs on the host runner via execSync,
but Go is only available inside the Docker container. Without this
step, every invocation fails silently and new-test discovery is a
no-op. Adding actions/setup-go before the shard split step ensures
the Go toolchain is available on the host.
