test(database): the next destructive repair fails a test, not a volume
The fix for the dropped catalog pins one table in one wrong shape, which
is the failure that happened. What cost the rebuild was more general: a
destructive repair added at `database.NewDB` -- the chokepoint every
binary in this project shares -- without asking which binary it runs in.
The next one will have a different name and a different reason.

So `TestNoCacheTableIsRetiredHere` asserts the outcome instead: put every
`datamap` Cache table into a shape the schema has moved past, open the
database the way cmd/indexbuild does, and require all of them to still be
there. Driving it from `datamap.ByKind` is what makes it cover tables
nobody remembered -- flipping the policy back fails on five, including
the two artist-credit tables added the same day, where the existing test
fails on one. It asserts the rows survive too, because SQLite does an
implicit DELETE before a DROP and a repair that recreated the table would
look identical. And it accepts an error from `NewDB`, because that is the
documented trade: loud is recoverable, gone is not.

`scripts/index-cache-snapshot.sh` covers the half no test can reach. The
volume holds the only copy of a catalog that costs hours of someone
else's bandwidth to re-derive. `VACUUM INTO` rather than `cp`, since a
byte copy of a live SQLite file is a corrupt file of plausible size; the
resumable staging directory is skipped; and each snapshot is reopened and
asked for its catalog row count before anything is rotated out. A corrupt
source and an empty catalog were both exercised: each exits non-zero,
removes its own output, and leaves the previous snapshots alone.

docs/index-cache.md is the restore, and the reason to bother: a restored
snapshot resolves to `refresh` and folds in the listens since, which is
minutes against the 3-23h this rebuild has been estimating.
