refactor: migrate historic_sync.rs tests to use run_sync_test() helper

- Refactored all 4 tests in historic_sync.rs to use run_sync_test()
- Tests maintain same logic and assertions, only setup simplified
- Moved run_sync_test() and SyncTestResult outside #[cfg(test)] module
- Updated validation to allow empty event slices (for announcement-only tests)
- All 4 historic_sync tests passing (test_bootstrap_syncs_existing_layer2_events, test_relay_replays_events_after_restart, test_announcement_not_listing_relay_is_not_synced, test_history_sync_without_negentropy)
- Result: 39/40 tests passing (1 more than Phase 1 baseline of 38/40)
