Add 'noobaa backingstore replace' CLI command

[kajalpareek-lab]

Problem

When replacing the default backing store on an active system, CLI/UI/S3-created
buckets remain tied to the old pool because BucketClass updates only propagate
to OBC-created buckets. There is no supported CLI command to safely detach the
old backing store from all buckets and accounts.

Solution

Add a new noobaa backingstore replace CLI command that calls the
pool_api.safe_replace_pool RPC (added in the companion noobaa-core PR).

Usage:

noobaa backingstore replace <old-backing-store> <new-backing-store> [--migrate]

Workflow:

1. noobaa backingstore replace old new --migrate (start mirroring)
2. Wait for data replication to complete
3. noobaa backingstore replace old new (finalize replacement)
4. oc delete backingstore old (remove the old store)

Changes

• pkg/nb/types.go: SafeReplacePoolParams and SafeReplacePoolReply structs
• pkg/nb/api.go: SafeReplacePoolAPI method on Client interface and RPCClient
• pkg/backingstore/backingstore.go: CmdReplace and RunReplace functions
• pkg/nb/api_test.go: unit tests for params/reply serialization
• test/cli/test_cli_functions.sh: end-to-end CLI integration test

Depends On

• noobaa-core: safe_replace_pool RPC (DFBUGS-6233)

Tests

• 4 unit tests for SafeReplacePoolParams/Reply serialization (all passing)
• 1 CLI integration test (test_backingstore_replace) covering full workflow

Fixes: DFBUGS-6233

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a backingstore replace command. It introduces safe replacement API types and RPC support. The CLI validates stores, starts or finalizes replacement, reports results, and adds end-to-end coverage.

Changes

Backing-store replacement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Replacement API contract pkg/nb/types.go, pkg/nb/api_test.go	Adds request and reply types for safe pool replacement. Tests validate JSON field names, optional migration serialization, and reply decoding.
Replacement RPC client pkg/nb/api.go	Adds SafeReplacePoolAPI to the client interface and implements the pool_api.safe_replace_pool RPC call.
Replacement CLI workflow pkg/backingstore/backingstore.go, test/cli/test_cli_functions.sh	Registers the replace command, validates store arguments and readiness, invokes replacement, reports migration results, and tests migration, finalization, account updates, deletion, and cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4a4d9

The new replacement workflow is covered by an end-to-end test, but its cleanup deletes the backing store left as the admin default. This can corrupt shared test state and cause later tests or cleanup to fail, so the cleanup must restore a valid default before merge.

Do not delete the active default backing store during cleanup.

Lines 1564-1568 verify that replace-test-bs is the admin account default resource. Line 1583 deletes it without first restoring a valid default resource. This can leave later tests with a dangling default-resource reference, or a BackingStore stuck in deletion. Restore a valid default backing store, wait for it to become Ready, and reset manualDefaultBackingStore before deleting replace-test-bs.
