fix(review): address CHANGES_REQUESTED on #1077

- Move pyright ignore comments onto constructor lines (not above)

- Fix implicit string concatenation in RuntimeError (basedpyright)

- Skip version gate when HNSW_ITERATIVE_SCAN='off' (only strict_order/relaxed_order)

- Add early return in _set_hnsw_iterative_scan_on_connect when value is None

- Rewrite disabled-listener test docstring to be honest about what it tests

- Add test_version_gate_skipped_when_off regression test
