fix(admin): merge unreadable-config marker with isolated diagnostics

rustfs/rustfs#7225 and rustfs/backlog#2309 refactored the same ten
per-config arms of ExportBucketMetadata concurrently. Keep #7225's
`exported_bucket_config` helper, `export_internal_error`, the
`?diagnostic=true` mode with its reserved `_diagnostic/` namespace,
manifest and import preflight, and re-apply #2309's semantics on top.

The helper now returns `ExportConfigError`, which separates a
configuration that is stored but undecodable from a failure of this
build's own serialization. An ordinary export records the former in
`<bucket>/rustfs-unreadable-configs.json` and continues, so one bucket
cannot abort a whole-cluster export, and fails closed on the latter.
Diagnostic mode is unchanged: it reports both through the archive-wide
manifest with a fixed code and no parser detail.

The #7225 assertion that a complete export fails closed on unreadable
targets is replaced by assertions of the new behaviour; every other
assertion on both sides is kept.

The s3_error! baseline is remeasured at 1589 for the merged tree.

+`GET /rustfs/admin/v3/export-bucket-metadata` exports every configuration it can read. A configuration that is stored but unreadable is never exported and never replaced by a fabricated default; instead the bucket gains an entry `<bucket>/rustfs-unreadable-configs.json` of the shape `{"bucket": …, "unreadable": [{"config": …, "error": …}]}` naming each configuration that could not be read and why, and the export continues, so one bucket's undecodable payload cannot cost an operator the whole-cluster backup (rustfs/backlog#2309). The marker name is outside the configuration namespace importers dispatch on, so importing the archive back leaves the affected bucket's stored bytes untouched. A failure of the server's own serialization or archive writing still fails the export. The optional `bucket` query selects one bucket; omitting it selects all buckets.

Each error identifies `bucket`, `config`, and the fixed code `configuration_unavailable`. The archive excludes unreadable payloads and parser error details, and therefore carries no `rustfs-unreadable-configs.json` marker: the manifest reports the same failures with less detail, which is what makes a diagnostic archive safe to hand out.
 
 `complete` reports whether all supported configuration reads succeeded. A diagnostic archive is never a restorable backup, including when `complete` is true. Import rejects the manifest or reserved directory before any bucket creation or configuration write. The reserved directory is not a valid bucket name, so older importers cannot restore diagnostic entries as ordinary bucket configurations.

Supply the intended target settings and credentials; exported credentials are redacted. Use `{"targets": []}` only when intentionally clearing all targets, and reconcile any replication rules that reference removed targets.
 3. Submit the ZIP to the existing authenticated `PUT /rustfs/admin/v3/import-bucket-metadata` endpoint with `ImportBucketMetadataAction` permission. Import validates the replacement and persists it against the bucket incarnation; it does not need to parse the old target payload successfully.

+4. Verify target listing and the intended replication configuration. Retry the ordinary metadata export to confirm the bucket no longer carries an unreadable marker.
+
+Alternatively, `PUT /rustfs/admin/v3/set-remote-target?replace-unreadable=true` discards an undecodable target set as part of setting a replacement target. The flag is the operator's explicit acknowledgement that the stored set is being thrown away; without it the request is refused rather than rewriting an unreadable set from a partial view.
 
 Do not submit the diagnostic archive itself to the import endpoint. Copy only reviewed replacement entries into an ordinary import archive.
