Fix atomic latest version update to prevent missing isLatest flags (#530)

## Summary
Fixes a race condition where a server could have no version marked as
`isLatest` if the database operations failed independently.

## Changes
- **CreateServer signature**: Now accepts `oldLatestVersionID` parameter
to atomically unmark previous latest version
- **PostgreSQL implementation**: Uses a transaction to ensure UPDATE
(unmark old latest) and INSERT (create new version) happen atomically
- **Service layer**: Maintains `WithPublishLock` for concurrent
operation serialization
- **Two-level protection**: Advisory lock prevents races, transaction
ensures atomicity

## Test plan
- [x] Existing race condition tests pass
- [x] Integration tests pass
- [x] Unit tests pass
