Backup: durable on-box volume, off-box DEFERRED, and a real read-back check

BACKUP_DIR is now a persistent volume (/app/backups), so the dump already
survives redeploys — the container-ephemeral risk that made this urgent is
closed. Storage Box SSH auth is not sorted yet, so the off-box push is
explicitly DEFERRED rather than failing:

- gated on BACKUP_OFFBOX=1 (plus BACKUP_REMOTE and BACKUP_SSH_KEY); until
  then the script logs "off-box push DEFERRED" and exits clean.
- if an enabled push DOES fail, it is a LOW-priority "deferred" notice, not
  a failure — the durable on-box dump succeeded, and calling that an
  incident would train us to ignore backup alerts.

Adds the read-back check, because a backup nobody has read is a hope:
countRowsInDump() runs `pg_restore --data-only --table=X -f -` and counts
the rows between `FROM stdin;` and the terminating `\.`, proving the
archive CONTAINS the data rather than merely parsing. Needs no Postgres
server, so it runs inside the API container. Validated against a real
pg_dump from a scratch Postgres: counted exactly 604 rows.

GET /api/internal/backup/verify exposes it (newest dump in BACKUP_DIR,
size, table, rows_in_dump). Unit tests inject spawn/fs so CI needs neither
docker nor pg_restore.

Suite 278/3310 green, build exit 0.
