test: fix flaky run() compaction test and hang-on-failure

[mcollina]

Problem

Release run 38384169229 hung in the Test step for ~18 minutes until it was cancelled. The log shows:

✖ run() compacts per level using time-bucketed scheduling (870.05405ms)
##[error]The operation was canceled.

Two bugs combined:

1. Flaky assertion. The test starts replica.run(), writes for ~150 ms, then polls restore(). On a slow runner the first sync hadn't uploaded anything yet, so restore() correctly threw NoMatchingBackupError and waitForRestoredRows rethrew it instead of retrying.
2. Hang on failure. ac.abort() only ran on the success path, so after the failure the run() loop kept going and the test process never exited. The release job had no timeout.

Reproduced locally by delaying the first writeLtxFile by 300 ms: same NoMatchingBackupError, then the process hangs.

Changes

• waitForRestoredRows (compaction-scheduling and compaction-retention tests) retries transient restore failures until its deadline and includes the last error in the timeout message. The retention test also needs this because retention can delete files while a restore is reading them.
• The compaction and leasing run() tests always abort and await the run loop in finally, so a failed assertion fails fast instead of hanging.
• release.yml: drop the Test step (CI already runs the tests on every push to main) and add timeout-minutes: 15.

Verification

• pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck:all and pnpm test:all pass (119 + 18 tests).
• 25 back-to-back runs of the three changed test files: 0 failures.
• With the 300 ms first-upload delay the scheduling test now passes. With a forced assertion failure it exits in under a second instead of hanging.
