test: Add test documenting bug #4762 - version file failure returns digest

This test documents issue #4762 where InstallDB and InstallFdw return
both a digest AND an error when version file update fails after
successful installation.

Current buggy behavior:
- Installation succeeds (files copied)
- Version file update fails
- Function returns (digest, error) - ambiguous state

Expected behavior:
- Should return ("", error) for clear failure semantics
- Either all succeeds or all fails

The test currently FAILS to demonstrate the bug exists.
