Introduce acquireAdvisoryLock (pg_try_advisory_lock with a ~3s bounded retry) and acquireAdvisoryXactLockBlocking (deliberately blocking for the cancellation-refund path where silently dropping a refund is worse than waiting). Convert ApplyLoyaltyRedemption to the bounded variant: concurrent redemptions during an in-flight payment return 409 instead of pinning a pool connection. Add uncontended + contended-timeout unit tests and a lock-contended 409 redemption test.
