Add purgatory persistence to survive relay restarts

Implement save/restore functionality for both purgatory state and
rejected events cache. Events are now saved to disk on graceful
shutdown and restored on startup, preventing data loss during
relay restarts.

Key features:
- Purgatory state persisted to JSON (state events, PR events, expired events)
- Rejected events cache persisted (hot cache + cold index)
- Downtime adjustment preserves remaining TTL
- Graceful degradation on missing/corrupted files
- Automatic re-queueing of restored repositories
- Comprehensive test coverage (45 tests)
