904736c20e fix(mfs): add soft limit for --flush=false (#10985)
* fix: add MFS operation limit for --flush=false

adds a global counter that tracks consecutive MFS operations performed
with --flush=false and fails with clear error after limit is reached.

this prevents unbounded memory growth while avoiding the data corruption
risks of auto-flushing.

- adds Internal.MFSNoFlushLimit config
- operations fail with actionable error at limit
- counter resets on successful flush or any --flush=true operation
- operations with --flush=true reset and don't count

this commit removes automatic flush from https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/10971
and instead errors to encourage users of --flush=false to develop a habit
of calling 'ipfs files flush' periodically.

boxo will no longer auto-flush (https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/pull/1041) to
avoid corruption issues, and kubo applies the limit to 'ipfs files' commands
instead.

closes #10842

* test: add tests for MFSNoFlushLimit

tests verify the new Internal.MFSNoFlushLimit config option:
- default limit of 256 operations
- custom limit configuration
- counter reset on flush=true
- counter reset on explicit flush command
- limit=0 disables the feature
- multiple MFS command types count towards limit

* docs: explain why MFS operations fail instead of auto-flushing

addresses feedback from https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/10985#pullrequestreview-3256250970

- clarify that automatic flushing at limit was considered but rejected
- explain the data corruption risks of auto-flushing
- guide users who want auto-flush to use --flush=true (default)
- document benefits of explicit failure for batch operations

(cherry picked from commit a688b7eeac)

fix(mfs): unbound cache growth with flush=false (#10971)
* fix: prevent --flush=false in 'ipfs files rm' command

the 'ipfs files rm' command always flushes for safety to ensure
data integrity. this change adds an explicit error when users
try to pass --flush=false, improving ux and preventing confusion.

related to #10842

* fix: add MFS cache size limit to prevent unbounded growth

- add Internal.MFSAutoflushThreshold config (experimental)
- directories auto-flush when cache exceeds threshold with --flush=false
- prevents high memory usage issue from #10842
- default: 256 entries per directory (matching HAMT shard size)
- set to 0 to restore old behavior (risky, may cause errors)

Closes #10842
