test(amber): add unit test coverage for FlowControl (#4750)
### What changes were proposed in this PR?
Add `FlowControlSpec` covering the credit-based backpressure manager in
`FlowControl`:
- Initial state: full credit, not overloaded
- `getMessagesToSend(msg)` forwards when credit available; stashes and
marks overloaded when credit is exhausted
- Stashed messages drain once credit is restored
- New messages arriving while the stash is non-empty are stashed first
and drained in FIFO order behind older work
- Partial drain: when restored credit only fits a subset of the stash,
`isOverloaded` remains true while the rest waits
- `updateQueuedCredit` shrinks available credit and is relative (not
cumulative)
- `decreaseInflightCredit` frees credit equal to the acked amount
(seeded via a real `getMessagesToSend` rather than a synthetic negative
input, so the test mirrors actual caller usage)
### Any related issues, documentation, discussions?
Closes #4749
### How was this PR tested?
`sbt "WorkflowExecutionService/testOnly
org.apache.texera.amber.engine.architecture.messaginglayer.FlowControlSpec"`
— 9/9 tests pass.
