fix(brainfs): refuse a symlinked walk root (#157)
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 40s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (pull_request) Skipped

Review round 1 on PR #166: fs.WalkDir stats its root with a follow, and
os.Root allows a symlink that stays inside the brain, so knowledge -> .
aliased raw/, sessions/ and root files into the embeddings (and a
wiki/<w> -> .. root into search results). On main, filepath.WalkDir
Lstat'ed the root and did not descend.

- WalkRegular Lstats its root and requires a real directory; anything
  else goes to onErr as ErrNotRegular and nothing is yielded.
- Sync skips a missing scan root via bfs.Lstat before walking, and every
  other walk error, including a symlinked root, aborts before the delete
  pass. This removes the unpinned rel == sub special case.
- Search warns and skips a symlinked root (new test).
- Test renamed to TestSyncRefusesSymlinkedNotesAndSurvivesSwapRaces.
- wrapAfterStat comment: brainfs tests must not use t.Parallel.
