Fix alert events ordering to show latest events first (#22309)

* Initial plan

* Initial analysis: identify ordering issue in alert events

Co-authored-by: harshach <38649+harshach@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix PostgreSQL query ordering in listAllEventsWithStatuses

Co-authored-by: harshach <38649+harshach@users.noreply.github.com>

* Add comprehensive test coverage and performance indexes for event ordering

- Add CollectionDAOEventOrderingTest with 4 comprehensive test methods
- Test chronological ordering, pagination, edge cases, and cross-database consistency
- Add critical timestamp indexes for consumers_dlq and successful_sent_change_events tables
- Indexes prevent table scans on ORDER BY timestamp DESC queries
- Migration 1.9.1 includes both MySQL and PostgreSQL index definitions

Addresses performance concerns and test coverage gaps identified in PR review.
