Allen HouchinsandJahziel Villasana-Espinoza 107dcb19d8 Repoint policies before deleting installers (#41362)
When removing old installer rows, update policies.software_installer_id
to reference the new/active installer first to avoid FK constraint
failures (there is no ON DELETE CASCADE). For custom installers, repoint
policies that reference older versions before deleting them. For
fleet-maintained apps, collect keep IDs once, build the UPDATE via
sqlx.In to re-point policies that reference evicted versions to the
active installer, then delete the evicted rows. Adds error context for
query construction and execution failures.
