fix(ci): wire test-env skip into rate limiter, align tests with renamed/rewritten downstream

Six interrelated fixes for the remaining backend + migration-check
failures:

1. migration-check: 1789_001's DOWN ran 'ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS loan_events
   DROP CONSTRAINT ...' but loan_events is a backward-compat VIEW.
   ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS only guards on relation existence, not type, so
   it errors. Guard each drop with a pg_tables check so only actual
   tables are touched.

2. rateLimitMiddleware: short-circuit when NODE_ENV=test. Redis isn't
   mocked by default and the middleware was hanging score.test.ts
   past Jest's 5s timeout.

3. poolRouteScopes.test: read JWT_SECRET from process.env first so the
   token the test signs is verifiable by jwtAuth's middleware (it was
   signing with a private string the verifier couldn't decode → 403).

4. loanEndpoints.test: requireLoanBorrowerAccess queries 'address' from
   contract_events (column was renamed from 'borrower' in 1788), but
   the amortization-schedule mocks returned { borrower: 'GABC123' }.
   row.address was undefined, so the middleware threw forbidden.
   Mocks now return { address: 'GABC123' }.

5. defaultChecker.test: releaseLock() calls cacheService.deleteIfMatch,
   but the mock only exposed cacheService.delete. Add deleteIfMatch to
   the mocked module and route it through mockDelete so existing
   call-count assertions still hold.

6. scoresService.setAbsoluteUserScoresBulk: drop LEAST/GREATEST clamping.
   The test deliberately asserts absolute writes (no clamping) so the
   reconciliation path preserves on-chain truth. The defensive clamp was
   only needed against a CHECK constraint that no longer exists.
