Stabilization: replication semi-sync, MVCC aborted deleters, SSTable level, SCRAM fix

P0-P1 fixes:
- replication.nim: rmSync/rmSemiSync now wait for replica ACKs
- mvcc.nim: aborted deleters no longer hide records (return true for visibility)
- storage/lsm.nim: SSTable level persisted in header (version 2, backward compat)
- protocol/auth.nim: removed insecure SCRAM raw hash fallback

Build: 0 warnings, 0 errors. All tests pass.
