fix(prefs): recover a preference store whose bytes are not valid UTF-8

`File.readAsString` reports a UTF-8 decode failure as a FileSystemException,
not a FormatException, so three guards written for that case never ran. The
preflight's `on FormatException` branch was unreachable and its
`on FileSystemException` sibling waved the document through; the plugin then
threw the same FileSystemException, which failed the FormatException/TypeError
test that decides repairability; and quarantine's lossy-decode fallback sat
dead behind a rethrow. A store with one bad high byte — a UTF-16 BOM, a stray
0x80 — therefore reached the user as a failure screen with no Repair button
and no way forward at all.

Read bytes and decode explicitly instead, at both sites. Classification moves
into describeStoreDamage, so a failure that surfaces after the preflight
passed is judged by re-reading the file rather than by the error's type: a
denied or locked store is indistinguishable from a decode failure by type or
message, and offering a destructive repair for a permissions problem would
reset every setting and risk the vault key over something a chmod fixes.
isCorruptStoreError went with it, having no remaining callers.

A repair that quarantines the store and then cannot reopen it no longer
strands the process either. The repaired future was built straight from the
cache loader, bypassing the self-healing reset sharedCache installs, so a
failed reopen parked a rejected future in _cacheFuture and every later attempt
replayed that stale error — with the damaged file already moved aside, so a
restart would have booted cleanly.

CorruptPreferenceStoreException now carries reopenSafe and a derived,
content-free shape: byte length, whether it decoded, whether every byte is
zero. #1732 arrived as "FormatException at offset 0" and nothing else, which
cannot separate an all-zero file from a non-JSON first character from bytes
that are not UTF-8; these can, and never quote the document.

Cover the loop against the real desktop backend rather than a fake.
shared_preferences_linux is pure Dart, byte-identical to the Windows
implementation, and exposes fs/pathProvider, so pointing it at a temp
directory exercises the genuine read, parse, cache and write path on any host
— the join between preflight, classification and reopen where every one of
these defects lived, and which had no coverage at all.
