Step 1 of rpkgs/bincraft#211: pass the metadata database explicitly so bincraft can drop its implicit production defaults.

## Changes

- Pass `metadata_db_*` explicitly to every per-minor `upload_package_index()` call in `reindex.yaml`, `process-updates.yaml`, `weekly-rebuild-reindex.yaml`, `build-all-versions.yaml` and `prune-stale-flat-binaries.yaml`.
- Replace `|| true` in those per-minor loops with a list of failed minors: every minor is still attempted, then the step exits 1 naming the ones that failed.
- Give the "Upload package indexes" step of `build-all-versions.yaml` the `PGPASS` secret. It never had it, so its per-minor reindexes always aborted and `|| true` hid that.
- Run the CDN purge in `process-updates.yaml` and `prune-stale-flat-binaries.yaml` even when a reindex failed, as `reindex.yaml` and `weekly-rebuild-reindex.yaml` already do, because the generic index was still replaced.
- `local/repair-built-stamp.R` passes the database too, and fails once all minors are tried instead of only printing the error.

The generic (non-per-minor) calls are unchanged: they never read the database.

## Behaviour change

A per-minor reindex that fails now turns the pipeline red instead of passing silently.
Expect build-all-versions runs to start reindexing per-minor slots for real, since they now have the password.

## Ordering

Merge this before rpkgs/bincraft's companion PR is released: `local/install-bincraft.R` installs the latest bincraft tag, and the explicit arguments work with both the current and the next release.

853b924765 feat(abi): backfill classifier verdicts for pre-per-minor packages (#199)
All checks were successful
ci/crow/manual/rebuild-abi-gap/17 Pipeline was successful
ci/crow/manual/backfill-abi-classification Pipeline was successful
## Why

bincraft PR #124 makes the `abi_classification` cache authoritative for the risky-package set, breaking the circularity where a package counted as ABI-risky only once it had already been built per-minor.

On its own that changes nothing for the packages actually at risk. The cache only holds verdicts for packages that passed through the build pipeline after the per-minor scheme existed; everything older has no verdict, and no verdict means the flat binary is carried into every per-minor index. That is exactly how a `base64enc` built under R 4.4.3 reached an R 4.6.1 client:

```
base64enc.so: undefined symbol: SETLENGTH
```

This is the backfill that gives those packages a verdict.

## What it does

`local/backfill-abi-classification.R` enumerates a slot's flat index and runs each compiled package through `bincraft::classify_r_minor_sensitive()`, which looks the verdict up in the cache, and on a miss downloads the CRAN source, classifies it and stores the result.

The verdict is a property of the source, independent of OS, arch and R minor, so **one run populates the cache for every slot**. The arch/codename arguments only choose which flat index to enumerate.

Only `NeedsCompilation=yes` packages are classified: a package with no compiled code has no symbols to bind and cannot fail this way, so proving it by download would be wasted work. On amd64/resolute that is 4585 packages rather than 23218.

Re-running is cheap and resumable: cached verdicts return without touching the network, so a second run costs one query per package and downloads only the remainder.

## Verification

The enumeration was run against the live indexes and matches an independent symbol scan of the same slot exactly:

```
flat binaries: 23218 | due classification: 4585
base64enc included: TRUE
lobstr included:    TRUE
```

4585 is the same population I scanned with `nm -D --undefined-only` when establishing the blast radius, and both packages confirmed to break under 4.6 are in it.

`crow lint` passes.

## Sequencing

Merge after bincraft #124 and after a bincraft release the pipelines pick up, otherwise the verdicts are written but nothing reads them yet. Writing them early is harmless.

Then re-index the slots so the per-minor indexes are rebuilt with the widened risky set. Expect coverage in the per-minor indexes to *drop* slightly as newly-recognised risky packages are dropped rather than served from a mismatched minor; those then need per-minor builds, either through the normal pipeline or the targeted workflow in devxy/build-cran-binaries#198.
