[codex] Deduplicate shard file infos (#834)

## Summary
- Deduplicate MDBMinimalShard file infos by file hash during sync and
async streaming parse.
- Keep only the first file info seen for a duplicate file hash; async
callbacks fire only for retained entries.
- Add a focused streaming-shard test covering parse, async callbacks,
and reserialization.

## Why
Duplicate file infos can survive the minimal streaming shard
parse/re-serialize path because it stores file entries as a Vec. This
narrows canonicalization to that streaming path while leaving in-memory
shard and set-operation behavior unchanged.

## Impact
- MDBMinimalShard::num_files() now reports unique file hashes for parsed
shards.
- Later duplicate file infos are ignored even if they contain richer
optional verification or metadata extension data.
- Raw full-section readers, MDBInMemoryShard behavior, and shard set
operations remain unchanged.

## Validation
- cargo test -p xet-core-structures metadata_shard
- cargo test -p xet-client test_global_dedup
- git diff --check
- rustfmt --edition 2024 --check

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Changes shard streaming parse semantics by dropping duplicate
`file_hash` entries, which can affect downstream counts/serialization
and may hide later entries’ richer metadata/verification.
> 
> **Overview**
> `MDBMinimalShard` now **deduplicates file-info records by
`file_hash`** during both sync (`from_reader`) and async
(`from_reader_async_with_custom_callbacks`) streaming parses, keeping
only the *first* occurrence.
> 
> Adds a focused test that constructs a shard stream with duplicate file
infos and asserts first-wins behavior, validates async parsing/callback
behavior, and confirms re-serialization only emits the retained entry.
