a4943e53bc spike: ts_rank_cd ordering + non-vacuous relevance test
Implements Eva's blocker-2 fix: Postgres backend now orders search
results by relevance, and the e2e test that claims to verify this
actually discriminates rank from recency.

postgres.rs
- SELECT list now includes `ts_rank_cd(content_tsv,
  plainto_tsquery('simple', $q)) AS rank` when the query has
  searchable text. The same `$q` parameter slot is reused in WHERE.
- ORDER BY rank DESC, created_at DESC when has_text; empty/"*"
  queries skip the rank column and fall back to created_at DESC
  (no needless tsquery cost).
- SearchHit.score is populated from the rank column (f32 widened
  to f64). Empty/"*" queries leave score at 0.0.

e2e_nostr_interop::test_nip50_search_relevance_order
- Redesigned to discriminate rank from recency. Previous fixture
  used "alpha bravo charlie" with msg3="alpha bravo" — plainto_tsquery
  ANDs all terms, so msg3 never matched the WHERE clause and the
  test passed trivially with one candidate (Eva caught this).
- New fixture: query "{prefix} alpha bravo"; msg1 (oldest) has
  terms adjacent (high rank); msg2 (middle) doesn't match at all;
  msg3 (newest) has terms separated by filler (lower rank).
- Asserts both msg1 and msg3 are present, then asserts events[0].id
  == id1 with no `||content.contains(...)` escape hatch.
- Discriminator is term proximity, not term frequency: Typesense's
  default _text_match does NOT reward repeated query terms (verified
  empirically — identical tm scores for "alpha bravo" vs
  "alpha alpha bravo bravo"), but BOTH backends reward adjacency.
  Proximity is the property both backends agree on.
- New `send_rest_message_at` helper pins created_at via
  `custom_created_at`. Without explicit timestamps, three back-to-back
  sends share one wall-clock second; PG falls to heap-scan order and
  masquerades as rank ordering. Spreading by 30s each makes the
  recency-only ordering deterministically put msg3 first, so a
  passing test really means rank wins.

Validation
- buzz-search lib: 30/30. buzz-relay lib: 337/337.
- NIP-50 e2e on Postgres: 4/4 (incl. relevance_order) + isolation 1/1.
- NIP-50 e2e on Typesense: 4/4 + isolation 1/1.
- Proof of discrimination: with postgres.rs reverted to
  `ORDER BY created_at DESC`, the new test FAILS on PG (msg3 first,
  as predicted). Restored ts_rank_cd ordering after.

Pre-existing failure not introduced by this commit:
test_nip17_gift_wrap_not_searchable fails on both backends — it queries
Typesense directly at events-spike-{backend}; on the PG backend that
collection is never written to (structurally expected), and the
Typesense-backend failure is the same fixture coupling Eva already
acknowledged in the prior turn. No regression vs e5869ddd/4b7c8d12.
