Do not replace an unknown replication-stream DB with DB 0.

repl_stream_db must match the DB selected in the primary replication stream. Line 4299 sets it to 0 when the active and cached primary clients are absent.

If the saved offset follows commands in another DB, startup restores server.cached_primary in DB 0. A partial resynchronization can then apply a later command before any SELECT command arrives. The replica will write that command to the wrong DB.

Persist the last known primary stream DB outside the transient client. If that value is unavailable, return NULL and use full synchronization.

In `@src/rdb.c` around lines 4293 - 4300, Update the RDB replication-info path
around the server.primary_host fallback so it never substitutes DB 0 for an
unknown repl_stream_db. Persist the last known primary stream database
independently of transient primary clients, restore that value into
rsi->repl_stream_db when available, and return NULL when unavailable so startup
performs a full synchronization.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add an AOF restart and PSYNC integration test.

Add a Tcl integration test under tests/. Start an AOF-backed replica, replicate writes in a nonzero DB, remove the active and cached primary state, restart the replica, and verify that PSYNC succeeds without a full synchronization. Verify that post-restart writes remain in the selected DB.

As per coding guidelines, **/*: “Code changes should include relevant tests when the repository has a matching test location” and “Place end-to-end behavior tests in tests/ as Tcl integration tests.”

This signature change leaves debugCommand's DEBUG LOADAOF call at src/debug.c:633 passing only the manifest. make valkey-server fails with “too few arguments to function ‘loadAppendOnlyFiles’”. Update that caller as well; it should pass NULL so DEBUG LOADAOF does not restore replication info (matching its existing rdbLoad(..., NULL, ...) behavior).

int startAppendOnly(void);
