coordinator: wait for event broker dispatchers to drain

[wk989898]

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6316

What is changed and how it works?

Capture drain can complete after maintainer-reported progress reaches zero and the capture reports STOPPING, even if its event brokers still have registered dispatchers. A rolling upgrade controller may then restart the capture before those registrations are removed.

• Maintain an atomic dispatcher count in each event broker, including ordinary dispatchers and table trigger dispatchers. Repeated registrations and removals do not inflate the count or decrement it twice.
• Aggregate the counts across local brokers and report them through the existing node heartbeat.
• Include the reported count in the coordinator's remaining drain workload. Drain remains incomplete while the count is nonzero, even when maintainer-reported progress has reached zero.
• Require a STOPPING heartbeat from the current capture epoch before accepting the count for drain completion. A liveness response alone is insufficient. Reset the observation when the node epoch changes and ignore delayed heartbeats from older epochs.
• Protect concurrent access to the event service's broker registry.

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?

Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

Release note

`None`.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Drain operations now account for event-broker dispatchers before completing, improving shutdown accuracy.
  • Added support for reporting dispatcher counts and registration-closed status during node draining.
  • Pending event registrations now recover more reliably after expiration and continue reporting progress accurately.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of legacy and mixed-version nodes during drain operations.
  • Prevented stale registrations and dispatcher heartbeats from causing unnecessary retries.
  • Improved dispatcher count accuracy during registration, replacement, cleanup, and removal.

Changes

Dispatcher-aware drain

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dispatcher report contract and coordinator storage logservice/logservicepb/logservice.proto, pkg/messaging/message.go, logservice/coordinator/..., heartbeatpb/drain_protocol.go	Adds dispatcher-count messages and IO types. LogCoordinator stores, expires, routes, and filters reports. Protocol checks distinguish coordinator drain support from event-broker drain support.
Event service admission shutdown and reporting pkg/eventservice/..., server/server.go	EventService tracks dispatcher counts, synchronizes broker access, stops registrations during capture stopping, reports counts, and removes inactive registrations.
Registration state and heartbeat recovery downstreamadapter/eventcollector/..., pkg/messaging/mock/message_center_mock.go	Pending registrations remain visible in heartbeats and retries. Registration requests are filtered against active state, and removed consumers stop retries and heartbeat reporting.
Coordinator drain completion coordinator/controller_drain.go, coordinator/drain/controller.go, coordinator/controller.go, related tests	Drain completion now includes observed event-broker counts. Queries go through LogCoordinator after STOPPING, terminal zero reports remain valid, and unsupported protocol versions use hard-restart fallback.

_{A rabbit counts the brokers bright,
While stopping gates close for the night.
Reports hop through the log-coordinator stream,
And drains wait on a zero-count dream.
Old registrations fade from view,
The capture rests when the count is through.}
