Report a prune count that could not be read as unknown, not 0 (closes #96)

PruneDatabase read seven table counts with the error discarded, so a
query that could not run silently became 0 and the before/after delta
computed from it looked like real work.

Each read now goes through a helper that logs at warn on failure and
returns nil; nil renders as "unknown", never "0", so an empty table is
distinguishable from one that could not be queried. Deltas built from an
unknown count are themselves unknown. The failure is surfaced, not
propagated, so the command's failure conditions are unchanged. These
counts have no --json output — under --json the summary is suppressed
entirely — so nothing there can show a false 0.
