Nikhil Mantri ee35fc351f feat(alerts): New list API for alert rules (powers filters, sorting, pagination) (#12780)
#### Description

- New `GET /api/v3/rules` list API for alert rules: filter query DSL,
`states` filter, sort, and offset pagination (design discussion:
SigNoz/pulse-pod#324).
- Based on #12806, which extracts the shared list filter SQL compiler;
this PR adds only the rules key-policy resolver
(`sqlrulestore/filterquery_resolver.go`) on top of it.
- Rule state lives only in the rule manager's memory, so state
filtering, total, sort and pagination run in code after the SQL fetch;
total always equals what is pageable.
- Sorting is deterministic on ties: equal rows break on name then id,
always ascending, so pages never overlap or drop rows between requests.
- Response rows carry only list-page fields, deliberately excluding
`condition`, `annotations` and `notificationSettings`. The envelope also
returns the org's distinct label pairs and the reserved filter keys for
suggestions.
- Also guards previously unlocked reads of the rules map
(`ListRuleStates`, `GetRule`, `TriggeredAlerts`).

**Filter keys and operators**

| Key | Operators | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `name`, `created_by`, `updated_by` | `=`, `!=`, `CONTAINS`, `LIKE`,
`ILIKE`, `IN` and negations | string search |
| `labels.<key>` | string operators plus `EXISTS`, `NOT EXISTS` |
missing label evaluates as empty string; keys are case-sensitive |
| `severity` | same as `labels.<key>` | alias for `labels.severity` |
| `created_at`, `updated_at` | `=`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`,
`BETWEEN`, `NOT BETWEEN` | quoted RFC3339 values |
| `alert_type` | `=`, `!=`, `IN`, `NOT IN` | enum: `METRIC_BASED_ALERT`,
`TRACES_BASED_ALERT`, `LOGS_BASED_ALERT`, `EXCEPTIONS_BASED_ALERT` |
| `rule_type` | `=`, `!=`, `IN`, `NOT IN` | enum: `threshold_rule`,
`promql_rule`, `anomaly_rule` |

- A bare word is free text: a case-insensitive substring match over
name, description and labels.
- `state` is not a DSL key. It is the repeated `states=` query param:
`firing`, `pending`, `recovering`, `inactive`, `nodata`, `disabled`.
- An unknown key or `REGEXP` returns a 400.

#### Issues closed by this PR

Closes SigNoz/pulse-pod#226

#### Additional Information

- A missing label evaluates as the empty string for every value
operator, one uniform rule instead of the querier's per-operator split
([`AddDefaultExistsFilter`](https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/blob/e0da06f76d/pkg/types/querybuildertypes/querybuildertypesv5/builder_elements.go#L160));
presence is asked with `EXISTS` / `NOT EXISTS`.
- Integration tests
(`tests/integration/tests/alerts/06_list_rules_v3.py`) cover filters,
states, sorting, pagination, totals and the error contract, run against
both sqlite and postgres.
- Found while testing: the stock `create_notification_channel` fixture
teardown silently fails and leaks channels; follow-up fix needed.
