efiten 6c92a8b612 test(ingestor): make the suite race-clean, and run the detector when it matters (#1994)
`go test -race ./...` on `cmd/ingestor` reports **six data races** on
master. None is in production logic. All six come from test helpers that
outlive the test that started them, which is why the detector blames
whichever test happens to be running: two different tests failed on two
consecutive runs of the same code.

## What was racing

**`StartStatsFileWriter` had no way to stop.** Two tests start it at a
50ms interval, and its goroutine then runs for the rest of the process.
It reads the package-level `readProcSelfIOFn` hook, which a later test
replaces to inject a fake, so the write and the read race. The same leak
explains the stray log lines about writing stats into temp directories
that were already cleaned up.

It now returns a stop function that closes the goroutine and waits for
it to exit. Production ignores the return value and runs for the process
lifetime exactly as before; the two tests call it through `t.Cleanup`.

**The migration test read a log buffer while a goroutine wrote to it.**
`log.Logger` serialises its own writes, but `logContains` read
`buf.String()` outside that lock while `RunAsyncMigration` kept logging
after the call that started it had returned. The capture helper now uses
a mutex-protected buffer.

That one is worth calling a real race rather than a test artefact: a
concurrent read during a buffer grow can panic outright with "concurrent
map read and map write"-class behaviour, not merely trip `-race`.

## Measured

`go test -race ./...` on linux/arm64 under go1.27.1: **exit 0, zero
races, 704s**.

## The CI job, and why it is shaped this way

The server has had `-race` since #1208. This closes the same gap for the
ingestor, which carries an `atomic.Pointer` snapshot (the region key set
from #1989) whose safety has been an argument rather than a measurement.

Two deliberate choices, because a check that costs too much gets
switched off:

- **Its own job, not a step inside "Go Build & Test".** Appending
`-race` there puts its ten-odd minutes on the critical path, taking the
pipeline from roughly 20 minutes to roughly 32. As a separate job it
runs beside the E2E job (15-17 minutes) and hides inside that window.
- **Only when `cmd/ingestor/**.go` changed**, decided by the existing
change-scope job, which already gates the heavy jobs on
documentation-only PRs. A frontend or docs PR cannot introduce a data
race in the ingestor. Pushes to master always run it, as they already do
for `code`.

Nothing `needs:` the new job. Adding it to `build-and-publish` would
mean a skipped race job skips everything downstream, which is the
opposite of what a conditional check should do. It reports as its own
check; whether that blocks a merge is a repository setting rather than
workflow logic.

## Scope

Test helpers, one production signature (`StartStatsFileWriter` now
returns a stop function), and the workflow. No change to what the
ingestor does at runtime.
