feat(sync): fix race condition with announcement-before-state event ordering

**Problem:**

Integration test `test_concurrent_state_and_pr_sync` was timing out because
of a race condition: when syncing from remote relays, state events can arrive
BEFORE their announcements (no ordering guarantee). The system was rejecting
these state events with "no announcement exists" but NOT tracking them for
re-processing when the announcement later arrived.

**Solution:**

Implemented announcement → state event re-processing (GRASP-02 PR4.1) to
handle the race condition, mirroring the existing maintainer announcement
re-processing logic (GRASP-02 PR3).

**What Changed:**

1. **Announcement → State Event Re-processing (GRASP-02 PR4.1)**: When a
   repository announcement is accepted, the system now invalidates and
   re-processes state events that were rejected with "no announcement exists".
   This ensures state events arriving before their announcements are eventually
   processed correctly.

2. **State Event → State Event Re-processing (GRASP-02 PR4.2)**: When a state
   event is accepted (git data arrives), the system invalidates and re-processes
   other rejected state events for the same repository from the hot cache.
   (Renamed from PR4 for clarity - this was already implemented in previous commit)

3. **Proper Rejection Tracking**: Extended rejection reason detection to include
   "no announcement exists" and "not authorized" messages, ensuring these state
   events are properly tracked in the rejected events index for re-processing.

4. **Proper State Event Metrics**: State events now use `add_state()` instead
   of `add_announcement()` when rejected, ensuring correct metrics tracking.

5. **Removed Redundant Field**: Removed `event_id` field from `ColdIndexEntry`
   since it's already stored as the HashMap key. This eliminates dead code while
   preserving the cold index's core purpose: preventing re-fetch of rejected
   events during negentropy sync via `get_all_event_ids()`.

6. **Fixed Doc Test**: Changed doc test from `no_run` to `ignore` since it uses
   undefined variables for illustration purposes.

7. **Fixed Clippy Warnings**:
   - Added `#[allow(dead_code)]` for `reason` fields (reserved for future metrics)
   - Fixed unused variable warning
   - Collapsed nested if statement

**Why:**

The two-tier rejected events index was handling two scenarios:
- GRASP-02 PR3: Maintainer announcement arrives → re-process announcements
- GRASP-02 PR4.2: State event with git data arrives → re-process state events

But it was missing:
- GRASP-02 PR4.1: Repository announcement arrives → re-process state events

This created a race condition where state events arriving before their
announcements would be rejected and never re-processed.

**Implementation Details:**

The fix follows the same pattern as maintainer re-processing:
1. When announcement accepted, parse it to get pubkey + identifier
2. Call `invalidate_and_get_state_events()` to get rejected state events
3. Re-process each state event from hot cache using `process_event_static()`
4. Log results (Saved, Purgatory, Duplicate, or still rejected)

**Test Results:**

✅ All tests pass (578 total):
  - 248 unit tests pass
  - 330 integration tests pass (including the previously failing test)
  - All clippy warnings fixed
  - Doc tests pass

✅ Target test now passes consistently:
  - `test_concurrent_state_and_pr_sync` completes in ~2.7s (was timing out at 30s)

**Impact:**

- Fixes race condition in sync ordering (state before announcement)
- No breaking changes - only adds re-processing capability
- Follows existing patterns - mirrors GRASP-02 PR3 maintainer re-processing
- Minimal code changes - ~86 lines added to handle new re-processing path
