fix(store): serialize concurrent updates per plugin, check cleanup results

CodeRabbit review on #405 flagged two things in
_reinstall_with_rollback, both verified against current code:

- Real race: the web UI runs Flask with threaded=True and there's a
  single update route, so two overlapping requests for the same
  plugin_id (double-click, two tabs) can interleave. The loser could
  rename the winner's in-progress install aside mid-download, deleting
  its own rollback safety net — worse than the bug this function
  exists to fix. Added a lazy per-plugin_id lock dict (mirrors the
  plugin_manager per-plugin lock pattern) held for the whole function.
- _safe_remove_directory's return value was ignored at both call
  sites. Stale-aside cleanup failure now aborts cleanly instead of
  falling through to a rename that would fail anyway with a less
  useful error; post-success backup-removal failure now logs instead
  of failing silently (still returns True — the update itself
  succeeded, and the next update self-heals the leftover aside).

Left the third nitpick (test_stale_aside_from_previous_crash_is_cleared)
addressed by asserting the stale dir is actually gone and that
install_plugin was reached, rather than just the end-to-end result.

Added a concurrency regression test asserting install_plugin never
runs for the same plugin_id while another call is in flight.
