feat(bootstrap_cache): improve cache corruption handling and recovery

Enhance the bootstrap cache implementation with robust corruption detection
and recovery mechanisms. This change ensures system resilience when the
cache file becomes corrupted or invalid.

Key changes:
* Add explicit cache corruption detection and error reporting
* Implement cache rebuilding from in-memory peers or endpoints
* Use atomic file operations to prevent corruption during writes
* Improve error handling with specific error variants
* Add comprehensive test suite for corruption scenarios

The system now handles corruption by:
1. Detecting invalid/corrupted JSON data during cache reads
2. Attempting recovery using in-memory peers if available
3. Falling back to endpoint discovery if needed
4. Using atomic operations for safe cache updates

Testing:
* Add tests for various corruption scenarios
* Add concurrent access tests
* Add file operation tests
* Verify endpoint fallback behavior

Breaking changes: None
