Carlo 8cd9503267 Fix false-success reporting for failed software installs (#49515)
**Related issue:** Resolves #49475

Makes a non-zero install-script exit code a terminal failure so an
install that failed but whose post-install script exited 0 is no longer
reported as installed, in both the Go status computation and the
`host_software_installs` `status`/`execution_status` generated columns.

# Checklist for submitter

- [x] Changes file added for user-visible changes in `changes/`.
See [Changes
files](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/guides/committing-changes.md#changes-files)
for more information.

## Testing

- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually

## Database migrations

- [x] Checked schema for all modified table for columns that will
auto-update timestamps during migration. Redefining the
`status`/`execution_status` generated columns rebuilds the table, but
`ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` is not triggered by `ALTER TABLE`, so
`updated_at` is preserved.
- [x] Confirmed that updating the timestamps is acceptable, and will not
cause unwanted side effects.
- [x] Ensured the correct collation is explicitly set for character
columns (`COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci`).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Installations that fail during the install script are now correctly
reported as failed, even if the post-install script succeeds.
* Install and execution status reporting is now consistent about which
script exit code takes precedence.
* Pending, successful, failed, canceled, and uninstall outcomes continue
to be reported correctly.
* **Tests**
* Added regression/unit test coverage for install-status and
execution-status precedence across mixed install/post-install exit code
scenarios.
