fix(store): address review — malformed manifests, and suffixed versions

Both CodeRabbit findings on #433 verified against the code and fixed.

1. Malformed manifest sections raised instead of degrading. `requires` as a
   list hit AttributeError ('list' object has no attribute 'get') and
   `versions` as a mapping hit KeyError: 0. Both reproduced.

   This got worse with the sunset rule in the previous commit: that branch
   resolves the floor for *every* manifest on an untrustworthy core, where the
   old code returned early. One hand-edited or third-party file with the wrong
   shape would have taken down the whole install path rather than just itself.
   Container types are now validated and an unrecognised shape reads as "no
   declared floor".

2. Prerelease and build metadata leaked into the version numbers. The digit
   scrape parsed "3.2.0+build42" as (3, 2, 42) and "3.2.0-rc1" as (3, 2, 1) --
   a release candidate ranking above its own release. Both fed reject
   decisions, and the consequence was demonstrable: a plugin pinned to exactly
   "3.2.0" refused a core running 3.2.0+build42, which is that same version.

   The suggested remedy -- use the strict token parser -- would not have
   fixed it. _parse_strict validates the shape but delegates the numbers to
   parse_semver, so it returned the same (3, 2, 42). The bug is in the scrape,
   so suffixes are now dropped before it. Prereleases compare equal to their
   release rather than below it; full prerelease ordering is more than any
   caller needs and equal is far closer to right than what it did before.

parse_semver is shared with PluginLoader, so its suite was re-run: unchanged,
and it only ever gets more correct here.

Verified: 839 core unit tests pass, 21 of them new -- six malformed shapes,
five suffixed forms, and the two demonstrated regressions. The real-registry
sweep is unchanged at 0 of 42 refused across cores 1.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.2.0,
3.2.0+build42 and an unparseable string.
