Make remote nuke delete leftover .partial uploads (closes #281)

The file and rclone listings skip an object whose name ends in
`.partial`, the temporary name a `file://` or rclone upload writes
before moving the object into place. `remote nuke` deletes only what
the listings return, so it left the `.partial` objects killed uploads
leave behind and still reported the destination store empty.

Storer gains DeletePartialUploads. The file and rclone backends remove
every `.partial` object under the prefix; S3 has none to remove, since
it shows an object only once its upload completes. `remote nuke` calls
it for `metadata/` and `blobs/` as its last step.

Empty directories under a `file://` destination are still left behind.

 # Completed Steps
 
-- 2026-10-13: Counted a file as deleted only when the previous snapshot
-  of the same name had it
-  ([issue #304](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/304)). The
-  deleted figure of a backup counted every file in the local index under
-  the source path that the walk did not find. That took in files the
-  snapshot excludes but another snapshot backs up, and files deleted
-  long ago, which every later backup, and the first backup of another
-  name over the same path, reported as deleted again. A file is now
-  counted only when the previous completed snapshot of the same name
-  lists it and the walk did not find it, and an excluded file is never
-  counted.
-
-- 2026-10-13: Made `snapshot remove` fail for a snapshot that does not
-  exist ([issue #293](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/293)).
-  The command never checked the ID: it reported the snapshot removed
-  from the local database and from the destination store and exited 0,
-  under `--json`, `--dry-run` and `--local-only` too. An ID that names
-  no snapshot in the local index or on the destination store is now an
-  error; with `--local-only`, the snapshot must be in the local index.
-  The command now reports a removal from either side only when one
-  happened, and `remote_removed` is true only when metadata was deleted.
-
-- 2026-10-12: Bound the local index to the destination an `s3.*` config
-  names ([issue #298](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/298)).
-  Only `storage_url` was checked, so after `s3.bucket` or `s3.prefix`
-  changed, the next backup treated every chunk as already stored,
-  uploaded nothing, and completed a snapshot that could not be restored.
-  Without `storage_url`, the local index is now bound to `s3.endpoint`,
-  `s3.bucket` and `s3.prefix`, and a change is refused as a changed
-  `storage_url` is.
-
-- 2026-10-12: Rejected a retention duration longer than about 292 years
-  ([issue #289](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/289)). The
-  number given to `--older-than` or `--keep-newer-than` was multiplied
-  by the length of its unit with no limit, so from `293y`, `15251w`,
-  `3559mo` or `106752d`, or a sum of parts such as `200y200y`, the
-  result wrapped to a negative duration. The cutoff then lay in the
-  future, every snapshot of the name was deleted, the one just made
-  included, and the command exited 0. Such a duration is now rejected
-  as invalid and nothing is deleted.
-
-- 2026-10-08: Made a backup cancelled under `--skip-errors` stop at once
-  ([issue #286](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/286)). After
-  Ctrl-C or SIGTERM, phase 2 treated the cancellation error from each
-  remaining file like an unreadable file: it opened the file, printed an
-  error line for it, counted it as failed and went on to the next one.
-  The run now stops at the first file after the cancellation, and no
-  file is counted as failed because of it.
-
 - 2026-10-08: Made `remote nuke` delete the `.partial` files that
