fix(vfs): resolve two critical VFS bugs causing directory listing corruption

Bug 1: verbCountsByType optimization skipping requested verb types
- After restart, stale statistics could cause VerbType.Contains to be skipped
- readdir() would return empty/incomplete results
- Fixed by never skipping verb types explicitly requested in filter
- Added fast path for sourceId + verbType combo (common VFS pattern)
- Save statistics on first entity of each type (not just every 100th)

Bug 2: UnifiedCache not invalidated on path deletion
- rmdir() cleared local caches but NOT the global UnifiedCache
- When folder recreated, resolve() returned stale entity ID
- Caused "Source entity not found" errors
- Fixed by adding deleteByPrefix() to UnifiedCache
- Fixed invalidatePath() to also clear UnifiedCache entries

Files modified:
- src/storage/baseStorage.ts (verbCountsByType fix + fast path)
- src/utils/unifiedCache.ts (deleteByPrefix method)
- src/vfs/PathResolver.ts (cache invalidation fix)

Tests added:
- tests/unit/storage/vfs-mkdir-bug.test.ts (7 tests)
