feat(database): add infra-error classifier and read-retry util

Adds a shared classifier (isInfrastructureError / looksLikeConnectivityError)
recognising connection-blip failures (P1001/P1002/P1008/P1017, ECONNRESET,
"connection terminated", "server has closed the connection"), and
withInfraRetry — a retry helper gated by an enabled kill-switch (default off)
and the existing TokenBucketRetryBudget.

Only for operations safe to run more than once (reads, or writes made
idempotent); it never authorises retrying a bare non-idempotent write.
