fix(sync,gui,cli): get a synced folder unstuck when its local copy is gone (#46)

A mirror folder whose files were all gone from this computer stayed in
error for good. The wipe guard rightly refuses to trash the whole folder
on Drive, but nothing got the folder out of that state: a queued switch
to on-demand waits for a pass that ends idle, and its push pass hit the
same guard. Only removing the folder from sync cleared the baseline that
made the empty folder read as "delete everything".

- The push pass for a switch to on-demand forgets the baseline rows of a
  local copy that is gone in full instead of trashing them, so the
  switch goes ahead and the mount shows what Drive has.
- New Request::ResetSyncFolder, `pdfs sync reset ID` and "Sync From
  Scratch…" in a synced folder's menu clear a mirror folder's baseline
  (and a queued switch to on-demand, whose push pass would upload a
  duplicate of every file). The next pass compares both sides as on the
  first sync: one-sided files are copied across, files that differ keep
  both versions, nothing is deleted.
- The wipe guards' messages name the reset; restore logs why it skipped
  a folder.

Two simulations cover it. The on-demand one failed in exactly the
reported state (mirror, pending ondemand, error) before the fix.

### B255 — A synced folder whose files are all gone here is stuck for good
**Status:** Fixed, not verified live
**Found:** 2026-10-26, issue #46: a folder restored from another computer never downloaded.
**Where:** `push_pass` in `crates/pdfs-fuse/src/sync.rs`; `reset_sync_folder` in
`crates/pdfs-fuse/src/devices.rs`
**Repro:** Sync a folder in mirror mode, then delete all of its files on this computer while
the folder is paused. Resume it. Every pass stops with `every one of the N synced paths is
missing locally`, the folder stays in error, and a switch to online only waits for good.
**Cause.** The wipe guard is right to stop a pass that would trash the whole folder on Drive.
But nothing got the folder out of that state. A switch to on-demand waits for a pass that ends
`idle`, and its push pass hit the same guard. The baseline that made the empty folder read as
"delete everything" could only be cleared by removing the folder from sync. How the reporter's
folder lost its files is not known yet.
**Fix.** The push pass for a switch to on-demand forgets the baseline rows of a local copy that
is gone in full, instead of trashing them on Drive, so the switch goes ahead and the mount shows
what Drive has. **Sync From Scratch…** in the app and `pdfs sync reset ID` clear a mirror
folder's baseline, so the next pass compares both sides as on the first sync: one-sided files
are copied across, files that differ keep both versions, and nothing is deleted. Restore now
logs why it skipped a folder.
**Test:** The simulations `a_folder_whose_local_copy_is_gone_still_goes_on_demand` (which
failed in exactly the reported state before the fix) and
`a_folder_whose_local_copy_is_gone_downloads_again_after_a_reset`.
