c7010a65ae Try to fix Safari extension breakage after app updates

Forcing a Gatekeeper assessment seems to fix the extension when it's
broken. General theory: the system does an assessment while the app is
doing an in-place update, calculates a signature mismatch between the
parent app and the appex (or within one of the bundles?), and caches
that forever, so forcing a reassessment fixes it.

relinkAttachment() calls getClosestDirectory() before showing the file
picker, and a too-long filename caused the OS.File.stat() in
getClosestDirectory() to throw, which prevented the file picker from
appearing after clicking Locate.

Firefox ESR 140.15 rejects loads from a content process for URLs that

9244cbe50a Detect database corruption reported by a transaction's commit
We only ever checked for corruption errors from transactions in
queryAsync(), so a corruption error raised by the COMMIT that mozStorage
runs itself bypassed the check. A 10.0 schema upgrade -- which heavily
exercises the database -- that failed due to corruption showed "Database
upgrade error" and a single Sqlite.sys.mjs frame instead of the prompt
offering to restore from a backup.

Two users reported this, but it's not clear what triggered it --
corruption usually occurs during a statement, which we did catch. There
may have been some statement transaction whose corruption error was
caught and ignored rather than being left to abort the transaction,
causing SQLite to then block the commit. That's what the test does, and
it fails without the fix.

d62b044386 Shim removed selection methods when a single row is selected
Plugins written for earlier versions call methods like
CollectionTree#getSelectedSearch(), which now throw. We did this
intentionally to make old code more obviously broken, even with single
selection, so developers would fix their code, but we're not yet
blocking plugins that illegitimately declared compatibility with a
future version, so some haven't been updated and are breaking Zotero.
With a single row selected, the pre-10 functions can technically
continue to work, so for now, restore them and just warn and name the
plugin instead of throwing. They still need to throw if multiple rows
are selected, since plugins that haven't been updated can't safely act
on a selection that might span collections or libraries.

1ee75da2f7 Fix locally missing attachments never being downloaded
Since f21e1b2d32, a full local file scan no longer runs periodically and
on every manual sync, so locally missed attachments stayed marked for
upload and were skipped as unavailable instead of being downloaded.
"Reset File Sync History" marked every attachment for upload, including
files that had never been downloaded, so the forced download check added
in 404fc41b88 found nothing to download.

Missing files are now marked for download when the upload queue is
filled, and in at-sync-time mode they're downloaded in the same sync.
The reset marks them for download directly, and downloads are no longer
skipped just because there were no remote storage changes.

hit the transaction timeout and told the user to restart Zotero.
