* ec: confirm a surviving copy before deleting a duplicate EC shard

The dedup phase of EC balancing removes a shard it believes exists elsewhere.
It copies nothing first, so the shard surviving on another node is the only
thing that makes the delete safe -- and it took the plan's word for that.

The plan is built from the master's topology, which can name a location that
holds nothing: such a server answers "CopyFile not found ec volume id N" when
something later tries to read the shard there. A shard listed on a phantom
location and on a real one looks duplicated, so dedup deletes one of them. When
it picks the real one the last copy is gone, and the job reports success -- the
loss only surfaces later, as a rebuild that cannot assemble enough shards.

The move phase already refuses to work on trust: it verifies the shard
registered on the destination before removing the source. Dedup now holds to
the same standard. The planner records which node it chose to keep, and both
executors -- the worker task and the shell's ec.balance -- confirm that node
really holds the shard before deleting. A keep node that cannot be queried is
unknown rather than confirmed, and blocks the delete.

Tests drive the destructive path against an in-process volume server that
tracks what is actually on disk separately from what the plan claims, which is
the distinction the bug turns on. Without the guard, two of them fail by
deleting the only copy and returning success.

* ec: check the collection and bound the wait when confirming a survivor

Two gaps in the dedup survivor check.

The inventory RPC is keyed by volume id alone, so a server holding the same
number for a different collection answers "yes, I have that shard" to a
question about this one. Accepting that deletes the last real copy on the
strength of an unrelated volume. The response already carries the collection,
so verify against it rather than widening the RPC.

The shell path also queried on a background context, so a keep node that
accepts the connection but never answers would hang the whole balance run
instead of reporting that the survivor could not be confirmed. Bound it.

The check moves into VerifyShardsOnServer next to the existing helper, shared
by both executors, so the two paths cannot drift.
