refactor(control-plane): introduce revision-based CAS for operation state updates

Add revision tracking and compare-and-set (CAS) semantics to operation state
stores, enabling atomic state transitions and preventing lost updates. Extend
the OperationStateStore interface with getOpStateRecord and compareAndSetOpState
methods. Update orchestrator and worker runtime to utilize CAS for marking
operations as failed only if the state is unchanged. Enhance in-memory,
JetStream, and test control plane implementations to support revision logic.

This change improves concurrency safety and correctness of operation state
management across distributed components.
