* fix(config): stop same-second backups overwriting each other

A backup's version is its identity. save_config_atomic() hands the path
back, rollback_config(backup_version=...) looks that version up, and the
paired secrets backup is found by reusing the same string.

The version was stamped at second granularity, so two saves inside the
same second produced the same filename and the second shutil.copy2()
silently overwrote the first backup. The path a caller was still holding
then pointed at different content, and rolling back to it restored the
wrong config. A user saving twice in quick succession lost a restore
point with no error.

list_backups() made it worse. It parsed the version off Path.stem, which
drops only the last dot-component, so for config.json.backup.20240101_120000
parts was ['config', 'json', 'backup'] and parts[-2] was 'json' -- never
'backup'. The filename branch was unreachable: every backup fell through
to the mtime fallback and reported a second-granularity restamp of its
mtime rather than the name on disk, so a unique filename alone would not
have been enough for rollback to find the right version.

Stamp microseconds, and never overwrite an existing backup -- on a
collision bump a -N suffix rather than lose a restore point. Parse the
version off the exact glob prefix so it round-trips with the filename,
still reading the legacy second-granularity format so restore points that
predate this keep working.

Two tests had encoded the bug:

  - test_multiple_config_changes asserted a rollback produced plugin1=45
    with plugin2=15, a state no single backup ever held -- 45 was only in
    the second backup, 15 only in the first. It passed because the two
    saves collided onto one file, so the first version resolved to the
    second's content. Corrected to the state that backup actually holds.

  - test_backup_rotation asserted against a hardcoded max of 3 while
    setUp configured 5, and still passed: every save in its loop collapsed
    onto a single filename, so there was only ever one backup to count and
    rotation was never exercised. It now asks the manager for its limit
    and overshoots it.

* fix(config): fold collision suffix into ordering, close backup-path race

_parse_backup_version() stripped any trailing "-segment" unconditionally,
so a collision-suffixed backup parsed to the exact same timestamp as its
sibling and list_backups() had no deterministic way to order them. Only
strip the suffix when it's numeric, and fold it back in as extra
microseconds so same-tick collisions sort newest-first reliably.

_create_backup() also checked backup_path.exists() before shutil.copy2(),
which two concurrent callers can both pass for the same path -- the second
copy2() then silently destroys the first call's restore point. Reserve
each path (config and, when configured, secrets) with exclusive file
creation instead of a check-then-copy, retrying on a real conflict.
