We had a condition where an old index.db was not able to properly restore a stream due to max msgs per subject being set and certain blocks being compacted away and removing subject info for those sequences. In addition we fixed recovery after Truncate and PurgeEx by subject when the index.db was corrupt or not available.

This change also moves generating the index.db file to after writing the blocks during a snapshot and we do a force call to make sure it is written even when complex.

Extension to #5893

If we can't update the index.db upon shutdown, for example during a hard
kill, we'd enter into this condition if `MaxMsgsPer` was set.

https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/pull/5893/files#diff-384c189826934c9a6fc3554dafc63dab2076245010e3d6fce5c71a93e15e9877R1752

However, all limits-based fields have this issue not just `MaxMsgsPer`.
Running similar tests where `nats str info` before hard kill should
equal its output after hard kill:
- `MaxMsgsPer`: −7,877 diff (fixed with addition of above condition/PR)
- `MaxMsgs`: +2,123 diff
- `MaxAge`: no diff (correct messages, but still `[WRN] Filestore
[stream] loadBlock error: message block data missing`)
- `MaxBytes`: +3,567 diff (had a MaxBytes set of 1016 MiB, but after
restart the state has more messages and Bytes: 1020 MiB)

I think we shouldn't only target `MaxMsgsPer`, since other fields can
also trigger this and making it specific to also include these other
fields would come back to bite if we add other limits-based fields in
the future and forget to add it in this condition.
We need to detect index.db was not written during shutdown or there is a
difference between index.db and our msg blocks. If we detect this we
can't rely on it being correct still, so I'd propose to simplify and
upon detecting defer to rebuilding.
