fix: fetch many-relationship peers before reconciliation

[estivate]

Problem

update_node() snapshotted a cardinality-many relationship's existing peers before
fetching them. The Infrahub SDK leaves most many-relationship managers uninitialized
after a normal node query, so existing_peer_ids was empty, compare_lists found
nothing to remove, and peers deleted at the source stayed related in Infrahub.
Additions still worked, so the destination grew instead of converging.

remote A, B  +  desired A, C  ->  A, B, C   (repeating the sync never removes B)

Root cause confirmed in the SDK: RelationshipManagerSync.peer_ids is a property over
self.peers, which is [] until fetch() runs.

Fix

Move the existing fetch() two lines earlier, so the manager is initialized before its
peers are compared:

 attr_manager: RelationshipManagerSync = getattr(node, attr_name)
+if not attr_manager.initialized:
+    attr_manager.fetch()
 existing_peer_ids = attr_manager.peer_ids

fetch() was already called unconditionally a few lines further down, just after the
comparison, so this is pure ordering with no additional requests.

Now: one fetch, remove B, add C, converge to A, C. A second run is a no-op.

Scope and risk

• 2 changed lines in one function, plus one regression test.
• No change to minimal-delta updates or to fix: attribute source/owner on relationships in update_node #143's source/owner attribution.
• kind: Attribute relationships were never affected and are unchanged.
• Operator-visible: many-relationships now converge to exactly what the source
  specifies, so a peer present in Infrahub but absent from the source is removed. That
  is the intended fix for adapter: stale peers remain in cardinality-many relationships after sync #168 and matches how kind: Attribute relationships already
  behaved.

Verification

• Full suite 148 passed / 3 skipped. ruff, Pylint (9.60, unchanged) and ty (3
  pre-existing diagnostics in untouched tests) all match main.
• Live disposable Infrahub branch: remote A, B -> desired A, C persisted correctly;
  second reconciliation empty.
• Rebased onto main at d2761c7.

Closes #168.

Walkthrough

Many-relationship updates now fetch uninitialized relationship managers before comparing existing peer IDs. The adapter then reconciles additions and removals against the fetched peer set. Regression coverage uses a lazy relationship-manager test double and verifies fetching, stale-peer removal, retained peers, new attributed peers, and the final peer set. A changelog entry documents the fix.

Document the new public test-double methods.

Add concise docstrings to LazyFakeRelManager.fetch, LazyFakeRelManager.add, and LazyFakeRelManager.remove. State the state change performed by each method.

As per coding guidelines, **/*.py requires “explicit types on new or changed code; public functions and classes get concise docstrings.”

Suggested documentation

     def fetch(self) -> None:
+        """Load remote peer IDs and mark the manager initialized."""
         self.fetch_count += 1

     def add(self, data: object) -> None:
+        """Record an addition and update the local peer IDs."""
         super().add(data)

     def remove(self, peer_id: str) -> None:
+        """Record a removal and update the local peer IDs."""
         super().remove(peer_id)
