Long Tran 27115b584d Propagate backlinks on Signal and Signal-with-Start responses (#9897)
## What changed?

### **High level**

With https://github.com/temporalio/api/pull/761 to add the linking on
the Signal and Signal-with-Start responses, This PR adds logic from the
server that:
* Adds `requestID` from Signal and Signal-with-Start requests to the
CHASM workflow tree under a new map field `IncomingSignals`, and event
store, so these requestIDs stay in buffer
* Return a backlink in the response that references the `requestID`
* On buffer flush to the DB transaction, attach these `requestID` to a
concrete `eventID`, which would allow users to later know which event
correlated w/ this request. We will wire the concrete event ID to the
signal request IDs stored in the workflow component CHASM tree
(`IncomingSignals` map)

> [!NOTE]
> Feature is gated behind a new dynamicconfig
`EnableCHASMSignalBacklinks`, which implicitly is only checked if
`EnableChasm` is enabled.

## Why?

This will enable the caller of the signal to have a backlink to the
cross-namespace signal invoked, which will become more relevant for
Nexus SDK ergonomics.

## How did you test it?
- [ ] built
- [ ] run locally and tested manually
- [ ] covered by existing tests
- [ ] added new unit test(s)
- [x] added new functional test(s)

In functional tests, I augmented existing tests for Signal and
Signal-with-Start to:
* Ensure that backlink is returned via the responses
* Later use `DescribeWorkflow` to ensure that we get a concrete EventID
(mapped when buffer flushed)
* Multiple signals with the same `requestID` gets de-duped

```
$ go test ./tests/ -run TestLinksTestSuite
ok      go.temporal.io/server/tests     1.486s
```

```
$ go test ./tests/ -run 'TestNexusWorkflowTestSuite' -count=1
ok      go.temporal.io/server/tests     4.714s
```

## Potential risks

Need to test end-to-end to see that the link shows up correctly in the
Web UI.

Feature is gated behind dynamicconfig since it requires CHASM-based
workflow to be enabled.
