Record batch runs beside cascades so Home lists them

A batch run opens no cascade, and FlowRun was written only from
cascade_started — so `fluksio run` showed on /runs and in `fluksio status` and
was simply absent from Home. The collector now folds the run_started and
run_finished events RunService already published. Such a record is exempt from
the staleness sweep in both places: a training step of an hour is a normal one,
and only run_finished ends it.
