`claim` pre-increments `attempt` before the handler runs, so a real execution
failure legitimately counts toward `max_attempts`. But the two TRANSIENT
release paths — gate saturation (server at capacity) and script-disabled-at-
fire-time — re-queue the message WITHOUT executing it, and previously used the
same `nack` that leaves the pre-increment in place. Under sustained overload a
message could therefore be dead-lettered after N gate-rejections having run
zero times (each rejection burning a retry).
Add a non-counting `release` to both `QueueRepo` and `GroupQueueRepo`
(re-queue + `attempt = GREATEST(attempt - 1, 0)`, mirroring `nack` otherwise)
and route the two transient paths through a new `Dispatcher::q_release`. A real
handler failure still uses `nack` and counts. No schema change.
Pinned by a new `queue_release` DB test (release undoes the claim increment;
nack keeps it) and the updated `disabled_queue_consumer_...` dispatcher test
(now asserts a release, not a nack).
