Solid Queue workers now die on finalization failure to free stuck claims

Solid Queue just shipped a fix that stops claimed executions from hanging forever after transient database errors, by killing the owning worker.

Solid Queue's new behavior [1] wraps finalization failures into a dedicated error and stops the owning worker so shutdown releases the claim for retry. This directly fixes a class of stuck jobs that could previously linger after transient DB errors, and the fix is paired with a scope-tightening follow-up [2] that avoids the redundant still-claimed check on every ordinary failure. As the PR summary puts it, "Prevent claimed executions from remaining stuck after transient database errors by terminating the owning worker so shutdown releases the claim." [3] Meanwhile, Rails itself is mostly quiet: a small MySQL reader fix [4] ensures `indexes([])` returns early instead of opening a connection to read nothing, and two documentation corrections [5][6] tidy up the Store dirty tracking example and the AVG return type. Ryuta Kamizono also merged a separate PR that backs the MySQL `fetch_indexes` change, all part of a light 6-commit, 4-PR day across the stack.
