fix: add mutex locks to FileSystemStorage for HNSW concurrency (CRITICAL)

PRODUCTION BLOCKER: Workshop team reported data corruption at 450+ entities
during bulk imports (1400 files) with 1000+ concurrent operations.

## Root Cause

FileSystemStorage lacked mutex locks for HNSW operations, causing
read-modify-write race conditions at production scale. Memory and OPFS
adapters already had mutex locks (v4.9.2), but FileSystemStorage only
had atomic rename which prevents torn writes but NOT lost updates.

## The Race Condition

Without mutex, concurrent operations on same entity:
1. Thread A reads file (connections: [1,2,3])
2. Thread B reads file (connections: [1,2,3])
3. Thread A adds connection 4, writes [1,2,3,4]
4. Thread B adds connection 5, writes [1,2,3,5] ← Connection 4 LOST

Result: Corrupted HNSW graph, lost connections, undefined entity IDs

## Why Previous Fixes Failed

v4.9.2: Added atomic rename (prevents torn writes, NOT lost updates)
v4.10.0: Made problem worse by increasing concurrency without mutex

## The Fix

Added mutex locks to FileSystemStorage matching Memory/OPFS (v4.9.2):
- fileSystemStorage.ts:90 - Added hnswLocks Map
- fileSystemStorage.ts:2609-2626 - Mutex wraps saveHNSWData()
- fileSystemStorage.ts:2719-2731 - Mutex wraps saveHNSWSystem()

Mutex serializes concurrent operations PER ENTITY while maintaining
atomic rename for crash safety.

## Workshop Bug Symptoms (Now Fixed)

1. Entity IDs undefined (300+ errors) - Fixed by preventing data loss
2. JSON truncation at 8KB (position 8192) - Fixed by serializing writes
3. Field index lock contention (100+ indexes) - Fixed by preventing corruption cascade
4. Corruption starts at ~450 entities - Fixed by handling hub node contention

## Test Coverage

Added 3 production-scale tests (hnswConcurrency.test.ts:533-688):
- 1000 concurrent saveHNSWData() on shared hub node (Workshop scenario)
- 500 entity corruption threshold test (crosses 450-entity limit)
- 100 concurrent system updates (entry point changes)

Test results: 16/16 passing
- 1000 concurrent ops: 177ms, 0 errors
- 500 entities: 0 undefined IDs, 0 corrupted data, 0 truncation
- All production-scale scenarios pass

## Evidence

Workshop bug report: brain-cloud/apps/workshop/BRAINY_V4.9.2_HNSW_CONCURRENCY_BUG_REPORT.md
Test Gap: Previous tests used 20 concurrent ops vs 1000 in production (50× difference)
Fix Pattern: Matches memoryStorage.ts:828 and opfsStorage.ts:2033 mutex implementation

## Breaking Changes

None - fully backward compatible

## Migration

No migration needed. Existing data compatible. For corrupted v4.9.2 data,
recommend clean slate re-import for guaranteed consistency.
