pd-ctl: support transfer-leader-in store limits

[JmPotato]

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: ref #11196

PD Control help does not list the transfer-leader-in store limit added by
#11197, and bulk updates reject the existing Unlimited value (100000000)
because it exceeds the CLI's ordinary rate ceiling of 200.

What is changed and how does it work?

Document transfer-leader-in in store-limit command help, including the
existing deprecated commands. Allow the Unlimited sentinel for all-store
and label-filtered updates while retaining the ceiling for other rates
and existing type parsing.

Cover per-store and all-store configuration, querying, label selection,
zero-rate rejection, preservation of peer limits when setting leader limits,
and preservation of custom and default leader limits when the type is
omitted. Verify finite and Unlimited limits across PD restarts.

The server support from #11197 is merged and included in this branch's base.

Check List

Tests

• Store integration tests: Go 1.25.12; Classic and NextGen passed with
  race/deadlock checks and failpoints enabled.
• make check passed using Go 1.25.12.
• Ablation: removing either bulk Unlimited exception or label selection makes
  the integration test fail. Removing the label cases lets the label-specific
  regression escape, confirming that this coverage is necessary. Adding
  transfer-leader-in to the omitted-type defaults also fails the regression
  assertion: the custom leader limit changes from 37 to 20.
• Command-entry comparison: 48 parameter combinations each on the base,
  original change, and final change confirmed rate boundaries and rejection
  of non-finite values before HTTP requests. Existing parsing and JSON
  encoding already provide that validation.

Release note

Support configuring transfer-leader-in store limits with PD Control.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pd-ctl store limit commands now support transfer-leader-in. All-store and label-based commands accept storelimit.Unlimited. Tests cover setting, persistence, invalid input, label targeting, and isolation from other limit types.

Changes

Store limit transfer-leader-in support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CLI type and rate validation tools/pd-ctl/pdctl/command/store_command.go	The store limit help text lists transfer-leader-in. All-store and label-based validation accepts storelimit.Unlimited.
Transfer-leader-in command coverage tools/pd-ctl/tests/store/store_test.go	Tests cover per-store, all-store, label-based, persisted, invalid, and unlimited transfer-leader-in limits. The tests also verify AddPeer and RemovePeer limits remain unchanged.

Operators can receive a successful response for a send-snapshot limit update even though the setting is ignored. Rejecting this unsupported type is advisable before merge.

569-599: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject send-snapshot in both all-store update paths. The command forwards this type for all-store and label-filtered requests. StoreLimitConfig.SetLimit has no storelimit.SendSnapshot case, so the configuration remains unchanged while the request can report success. storelimit.Unlimited passes both rate checks. Reject this type before postJSON, or add a persisted send-snapshot limit field and update path.
