feat(rebalancer): implement group draining flow for P4.5

Modified `remove_replica_group` to implement plan §2 group removal flow:
1. Mark group as `draining` — queries stop routing immediately via query_group_active()
2. Nodes can be decommissioned; no data migration needed (other groups hold docs)
3. Second call with force=true completes removal

Cross-group fallback for reads was already implemented in scatter.rs Fallback policy.
RF-restore on node recovery was already implemented in handle_node_recovery().

Added P4.5 acceptance tests:
- p45_group_removal_drains_first: verifies drain-then-remove flow
- p45_rf2_with_one_failed_node_succeeds: verifies RF=2 handles failure
- p45_rf1_with_failed_node_has_cross_group_fallback: verifies fallback path
- p45_node_recovery_can_restore_rf: verifies RF-restore on recovery

Closes: miroir-mkk.5
