Previously an existing output file was only detected at the final rename,
after the whole collection had run. Add an up-front check in the FileWriter
constructor that fails before acquisition arms.
Only the master file is checked, and only by the single writer that owns it
(write_master_file). In a multi-writer TCP/ZMQ setup the per-image data files
are staggered across writers by file number, and a writer does not even know
the total writer count, so it cannot enumerate its own subset; checking all
data files in every writer would make each writer stat files it never writes
and race the writers already creating them. Data-file conflicts stay caught by
their owning writer at the final rename.
Gate the check on whether the transport can report the failure to the broker:
the direct HDF5 pusher throws in-process and the TCP writer returns a
START-failure ACK, so both abort the collection cleanly (verified: an asymmetric
rejection cancels the already-started sibling). The ZeroMQ path is fire-and-forget
with no back-channel, so StreamWriter opts out via image_puller.SupportsAck() and
keeps writing .tmp files, failing only at the final rename (leaving the images on
disk). Documented in docs/JFJOCH_WRITER.md.

This is an UNSTABLE release. The release has significant modifications for HDF5 writing logic - in case of troubles go back to 1.0.0-rc.144.
* **Default HDF5 writing mode is with VDS, not soft-links** - this improves DIALS compatibility and makes format more future-proof, NXmx legacy format might be phased-out in the future.
* XDS plugin: Improve performance of VDS reading.
* jfjoch_writer: Significant improvement on how file systems I/O are handled through a dedicated pass-through VFD.
* jfjoch_writer: Clean-up of HDF5 routines to better handle issues.

This is an UNSTABLE release. The release has significant modifications and bug fixes, if things go wrong, it is better to revert to 1.0.0-rc.132.
* Multiple small bug fixes scattered across the whole code base. (detected with GPT-5.4)
* jfjoch_viewer: Improve image render performance

* jfjoch_broker: Significant improvements in TCP image socket, as a viable alternative for ZeroMQ sockets (only a single port on broker side, dynamically change number of writers, acknowledgments for written files)
* jfjoch_broker: Delta phi is calculated also for still data in Bragg prediction
* jfjoch_broker: Image pusher statistics are accessible via the REST interface
* jfjoch_writer: Supports TCP image socket and for these auto-forking option
