18fb0968a4 [MM-71476] Fix timeout when deleting the last reply in a thread on large Posts tables (#39579)
* [MM-71476] Compute thread reply stats in one query to avoid full index scan on reply delete

Deleting the last live reply in a thread could time out on large Posts
tables: the MAX-only LastReplyAt subquery let Postgres use a backward scan
of idx_posts_create_at, which walks the entire index when no live reply
remains. Selecting COUNT and MAX together prevents that rewrite, so the
query reads the thread through idx_posts_root_id_delete_at.

Also return the thread cleanup error before updating the root post's
UpdateAt, and return an error from that update instead of only logging it,
so the real cause is no longer masked by "driver: bad connection".

Add a Postgres EXPLAIN test for the thread reply stats query, rendered from a
shared threadReplyStatsQuery helper, with a MAX-only control case.
