R-86: restore-test follows the backup, not the clock (v0.121.0)

The ticker survives as the EVALUATION interval only. A tier is DUE when its
newest archive that has settled for `settle` (default 24h) has not been proven:
daily tier -> proved daily on yesterday's archive, weekly tier -> weekly on its
own, newborn -> UNKNOWN.

The trap avoided: the literal reading ("newest archive is >= 24h old") is NEVER
true on a daily tier, so it silently switches restore-testing off where it
matters most. Red-proved at 0 runs over 5 simulated days.

- state records WHICH archive was proven; legacy files keep their time and yield
  no proven archive (each tier due once after the upgrade, deliberately)
- two knobs replace one: restore_test_eval_interval_seconds (6h, measured) and
  restore_test_settle_seconds (24h). The old cadence key keeps its DISABLE
  meaning verbatim and now seeds the settle lag, with a start-up WARN.
- due-check runs BEFORE the heavy-op gate (a frequent poll must not make a
  starting backup record a failure, F-A1)
- candidate picker skips implausible archives (a phantom would be due forever)
- new read-only --selftest=restore-test-due prints the verdict + its cost
