fix(core): retry empty-receivers multi-node fan-out under topology churn

[xShinnRyuu]

Summary

Fix #6759. Multi-node fan-out at glide-core/redis-rs/redis/src/cluster_async/mod.rs:2174-2181 raised a non-retryable ErrorKind::ClientError with the message Failed to aggregate results for multi-slot command. Maybe a malformed command? when a concurrent read-guarded remove_node on the DashMap-backed connection_map transiently drained the iterator between the outer is_empty check and the walk. ClientError is classified RetryMethod::NoRetry, so every client language surfaced this transient connectivity condition as a generic non-retryable RequestError steering callers toward the wrong root cause.

Reclassify that branch as ErrorKind::ConnectionNotFoundForRoute with an honest message so the existing targeted RefreshSlots + retry path at mod.rs:1391-1400 fires. The driver now recovers the request silently in the common case, and any user-visible error surfaces as the retryable ConnectionError class instead of a misleading RequestError.

Closes #6759.

Features / Behaviour Changes

• The empty-receivers branch in ClusterConnInner::aggregate_results now returns ErrorKind::ConnectionNotFoundForRoute instead of ErrorKind::ClientError, so the FanOut retry path handles it as a transient connectivity condition.
• Error message changed from Failed to aggregate results for multi-slot command. Maybe a malformed command? to No live receivers for multi-node fan-out; likely a transient topology-refresh race to reflect the actual condition.
• Client-language wrappers surface this error as their retryable connectivity class [ConnectionError in Python, equivalent in Node, Java, and Go] instead of the generic non-retryable RequestError.
• The change is intentionally narrow: only the classification and message in that one branch move. The underlying DashMap read-guarded mutation footgun is tracked as a separate follow-up so the correctness fix stays small and easy to bisect.

Implementation

• glide-core/redis-rs/redis/src/cluster_async/mod.rs: swap ErrorKind::ClientError for ErrorKind::ConnectionNotFoundForRoute and update the message inside the if receivers.is_empty() guard, plus a short comment describing the race condition the branch is reachable under.
• glide-core/redis-rs/redis/tests/test_cluster_async.rs: add a deterministic regression test that drives the empty-receivers branch via MultipleNodeRoutingInfo::MultiSlot((vec![], MultiSlotArgPattern::KeysOnly)) with retries(0) and asserts err.kind() == ConnectionNotFoundForRoute and that the message does not contain malformed command.
• CHANGELOG.md: one-line entry under the pending Fixes section linking Cluster: transient empty-receivers race surfaces as misleading non-retryable ClientError from PING and other multi-slot commands #6759.

Nothing else changes. glide-core/src/errors.rs and every per-language error-mapping layer are untouched; ConnectionNotFoundForRoute already maps to RequestErrorType::Disconnect and to the retryable connectivity class in each wrapper.

Limitations

• This PR does not eliminate the underlying race. Read-guarded mutations against the DashMap-backed connection_map and slot_map at multiple call sites can still transiently drain iterators; the fix here only ensures the resulting error is retryable and honestly named so the driver recovers and callers see the correct classification.
• A separate follow-up issue tracks the wider lock-discipline audit for those call sites [mod.rs:1988, mod.rs:3849, mod.rs:2069, mod.rs:2925-2986, mod.rs:2947].

Testing

• New Rust regression test test_async_cluster_empty_receivers_multi_node_is_retryable passes on this branch and fails on main with the exact pre-fix kind=ClientError classification and misleading malformed command message described in Cluster: transient empty-receivers race surfaces as misleading non-retryable ClientError from PING and other multi-slot commands #6759, confirming it gates the reported bug.
• Full glide-core/redis-rs/redis cluster-async test suite still passes.
• No client-language integration tests are added here; ConnectionNotFoundForRoute already flows through the existing per-language Disconnect and ConnectionError paths that are exercised by other retryable errors.
