feat: rework record sync for improved reliability

So, to tell a story 1. We introduced the record sync, intended to be the new algorithm to sync history. 2. On top of this, I added the KV store. This was intended as a simple test of the record sync, and to see if people wanted that sort of functionality 3. History remained syncing via the old means, as while it had issues it worked more-or-less OK. And we are aware of its flaws 4. If KV syncing worked ok, history would be moved across KV syncing ran ok for 6mo or so, so I started to move across history. For several weeks, I ran a local fork of Atuin + the server that synced via records instead. The record store maintained ordering via a linked list, which was a mistake. It performed well in testing, but was really difficult to debug and reason about. So when a few small sync issues occured, they took an extremely long time to debug. This PR is huge, which I regret. It involves replacing the "parent" relationship that records once had (pointing to the previous record) with a simple index (generally referred to as idx). This also means we had to change the recordindex, which referenced "tails". Tails were the last item in the chain. Now that we use an "array" vs linked list, that logic was also replaced. And is much simpler :D Same for the queries that act on this data. ---- This isn't final - we still need to add 1. Proper server/client error handling, which has been lacking for a while 2. The actual history implementation on top This exists in a branch, just without deletions. Won't be much to add that, I just don't want to make this any larger than it already is The _only_ caveat here is that we basically lose data synced via the old record store. This is the KV data from before. It hasn't been deleted or anything, just no longer hooked up. So it's totally possible to write a migration script. I just need to do that.
