Preserve thread metadata when rollout files are missing (#35644)

## What changed

- Skip threads whose rollout files cannot be found while continuing through
  database pages until the requested number of valid threads is collected.
- Retain the skipped threads and their rollout paths in the state database
  instead of deleting their metadata during listing.

## Testing

- Update the state-backed listing test to verify that a missing rollout path
  does not consume a page slot or remove the stored thread metadata.
