fix: CP13-8A P0 — post-promote primary refresh with replica addresses

Bug: After failover promotes a replica to primary, the old primary re-registers via heartbeat as a replica (lower epoch). But the master never sent an updated Primary assignment to the new primary with the re-registered replica's addresses. The new primary had 0 shippers → replication dead. sync_all barrier passed vacuously. Root cause: upsertServerAsReplica (heartbeat reconciliation) added the re-registered server to Replicas[] but didn't (a) populate DataAddr/ CtrlAddr from heartbeat info, or (b) trigger a primary assignment refresh. Fix: - master_block_registry.go: upsertServerAsReplica now copies DataAddr/ CtrlAddr from heartbeat info and sets NeedsPrimaryRefresh flag. UpdateFullHeartbeat returns HeartbeatResult with PrimaryRefreshNeeded entries. DrainPrimaryRefreshNeeded collects and clears the flag. - master_block_failover.go: add enqueuePrimaryRefresh — builds a Primary assignment with all current replica addresses and enqueues it. - master_grpc_server.go: heartbeat handler processes PrimaryRefreshNeeded entries after UpdateFullHeartbeat. Gate test: TestPromote_AssignmentHasReplicaAddrs now PASSES — after promote + re-register, the new primary gets an assignment with replicaDataAddr=vs1:14260 and replicaAddrs=1.
