* wdclient: age vid map entries by generation instead of chaining snapshots

The vid map kept its history as a linked list of past snapshots, trimmed
in place by storing nil into a node's cache pointer. That cost up to six
full copies of the volume-location map, a recursive walk taking a
different lock per level, and deletes that had to cascade through every
generation. It also had to special-case explicitly-empty entries, or
fallback would resurrect locations a newer snapshot had cleared.

Keep one map instead, and stamp each entry with the generation it was
learned in. resetVidMap bumps the generation and drops entries that were
not relearned within the retained window, which is the same retention
the chain provided: an entry survives DefaultVidMapCacheSize resets.

The first write of a generation replaces an entry rather than merging
into it, so a volume that moved answers with where it is now — the
property a fresh map per reset used to give for free. Entries are
copy-on-write, so locations handed to a caller are no longer shifted
underneath it by a concurrent delete.

The map is never swapped now, so the client-side lock and its stable /
current accessors go away with it.

* wdclient: make vid map entries immutable and drop them once emptied

Review follow-up. Updating an entry in place left the copy-on-write
guarantee resting on callers never holding the entry pointer; install a
new entry instead, so the rule is simply that a stored entry never
changes.

Deleting a volume's last location now drops the entry rather than
keeping an empty one, which a client that never resets would otherwise
hold for every volume it ever saw deleted. Lookups already treat an
empty entry as a miss, so nothing observable changes.

* wdclient: let the newest generation decide between regular and EC locations

GetLocations checked the regular map first whatever its generation, so a
volume that was EC encoded kept answering with the regular copies the
previous master knew until they expired — for as long as the retained
window, since nothing relearns a copy that no longer exists.

The snapshot chain did not have this problem: the newest map was
consulted first and only a volume it knew nothing about fell through to
older ones. Restore that by comparing generations, with regular copies
winning a tie, since a tie means one generation reported both.
