test(logs): fix flaky unflattened timeout via _o2_id readiness gate (#12650)

## Problem

The **Logs-Builder-Basic** e2e shard is frequently flaky — it times out
on `unflattened.spec.js` and, because it's a big shard, a single timeout
re-runs the whole thing. Example: [run
27521591530](https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve/actions/runs/27521591530/job/81341218030).

In that run:
- `unflattened.spec.js:205` — hard failure, **timed out (300s) on all 3
retries**
- `unflattened.spec.js:100` and `logsQueryBuilder-chart.spec.js:148` —
flaky (passed on retry)

## Root cause

The failures are **timeouts, not assertion bugs**. The unflattened
tests:
1. Slept **~76s of fixed `waitForTimeout`** across the file (pure dead
time).
2. Ran a retry loop that **re-ingested 3,848 records up to 5×/test**
while waiting for the `_o2_id` field to index after enabling *Store
Original Data*.

Each test + setup is ~80s on a fast local machine; CI runners are ~3-4×
slower **and** run all 4 specs in the shard in parallel against one
backend. That pushes individual tests right onto the 300s/test ceiling.
The re-ingestion balloon also hammered the shared backend, slowing the
other specs (`logsQueryBuilder`, `pagination`) — which is why they
flaked as collateral.

## Fix

- Add `waitForO2IdQueryable()` to the unflattened page object: **polls
the search API until `_o2_id` is actually queryable** instead of
sleeping a fixed interval and hoping indexing caught up.
- Gate the UI scan on that readiness signal, removing the 15s/5s blind
schema-propagation sleeps.
- Turn the expensive **re-ingest** retry loop into a cheap **re-query**
loop (attempts 5 → 3) — the gate guarantees the data is already in the
backend, so a UI miss is only render lag.

No change to what the tests actually assert.

## Verification (local, against self-hosted OpenObserve)

| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Unflattened solo ×2 (cleanup between) | 2 passed each, `_o2_id` on
**row 0 / attempt 1** every time, **2.3m** (was 2.8m) |
| `logsQueryBuilder-chart:148` isolated ×5 | **5/5 passed** → not
independently flaky (collateral) |
| **Full 4-spec shard, 4 workers (CI scenario)** | **52 passed, 0
failed, 0 flaky** |

The retry loop now never fires — the readiness gate makes the first UI
scan succeed every run, killing both the timeout and the cross-spec
contention.
