fix(#5626): ignore inactive compacted state-db rows in context replay

get_state_db_session_messages() returned archived (active=0) rows that in-place
compaction had marked inactive. WebUI reconciliation feeds this reader straight
into the next model-facing context (reconciled_state_db_messages_for_session,
prefer_context=True), so those archived rows got pulled back in — resurrecting
pre-compaction history and making every later turn re-trigger compression. Now,
WHEN the messages table exposes an `active` column, inactive rows are excluded by
default (`AND (active IS NULL OR active != 0)` — NULL/legacy rows preserved), with
an `include_inactive=True` escape hatch for explicit recovery/audit callers.
Schemas without the column are unaffected (guarded by `'active' in available`).
