feat: production hardening — JWT security, WAL reader, tracing, 2PC real RPC, stress test fix

- JWT: getEffectiveJwtSecret() helper + warning log when not configured
- WAL: readEntries() with timestamp filter for PITR
- Tracing: core/tracing.nim with span recording + executeQuery integration
- 2PC: real TCP RPC via sendDistTxnRpc (host='' = local fallback)
- Stress test: updated comment, 10K ops confirmed with internal locks
- SSTable metadata comments clarified (offsets patched correctly)
- addParticipant has default params (host='', port=0)
