Add FilesystemStoreV2Error for v1 data detection

FilesystemStoreV2::new previously returned io::Error with
ErrorKind::InvalidData when the data directory contained top-level
files left behind by FilesystemStore (v1). That forced us to
match on an error that could potentially be given by our normal io
calls. This adds a dedicated FilesystemStoreV2Error enum with a
V1DataDetected(PathBuf) so we can distinguish between normal io
errors and an old V1 fs store.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code-quality improvement, not a security fix. It changes how a new version of a file-storage component reports that it has found leftover data from the older version. Previously it returned a generic I/O error; now it returns a dedicated, clearly typed error so callers can tell the two situations apart. No vulnerability is patched and no exploit is prevented.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal API change; update downstream callers that match on FilesystemStoreV2::new errors to handle FilesystemStoreV2Error instead of io::Error.
