Skip read authorization for the relationship cleanup lookup.

Line 8219 calls find() with its default read permission. A caller can have delete permission for the child document without read permission for the related collection or parent documents. In that case, deletion can fail before cleanup, or find() can omit unreadable parents and leave their $twoWayKey unchanged. Wrap this lookup in $this->authorization->skip(...), as the subsequent cleanup updates already do.

In `@src/Database/Database.php` at line 8219, Update the relationship cleanup
lookup around Database::find to execute through authorization->skip, matching
the subsequent cleanup updates. Preserve the existing lookup arguments and
cleanup behavior while bypassing read authorization for this internal operation.

P1 Lookup Uses Caller Authorization

When a caller may delete the child but cannot read the referencing collection, this new find() runs with the caller's read authorization. It can either reject the permitted deletion or omit unreadable parent documents, leaving those parents pointing to the deleted child. This internal relationship lookup should bypass read authorization, as the analogous one-to-one set-null and many-to-one restrict paths do.

$value = $this->find($relatedCollection->getId(), [
Query::select(['$id']),
Query::equal($twoWayKey, [$document->getId()]),
Query::limit(PHP_INT_MAX)
]);
$value = $this->authorization->skip(fn () => $this->find($relatedCollection->getId(), [
Query::select(['$id']),
Query::equal($twoWayKey, [$document->getId()]),
Query::limit(PHP_INT_MAX)
]));

**Lookup Uses Caller Authorization**

When a caller may delete the child but cannot read the referencing collection, this new `find()` runs with the caller's read authorization. It can either reject the permitted deletion or omit unreadable parent documents, leaving those parents pointing to the deleted child. This internal relationship lookup should bypass read authorization, as the analogous one-to-one set-null and many-to-one restrict paths do.

                $value = $this->authorization->skip(fn () => $this->find($relatedCollection->getId(), [
                    Query::select(['$id']),
                    Query::equal($twoWayKey, [$document->getId()]),
                    Query::limit(PHP_INT_MAX)
                ]));

P2 Nonempty Path Remains Untested

The added regression checks only deletion with zero referencing parents, so it cannot verify the main changed behavior: finding existing two-way references and nulling their foreign keys. The nearby check does not provide reliable coverage because it discards the refetched product1 and reads an older object whose missing newStore attribute already evaluates to null. Add a focused case that refetches a parent immediately after deleting its related child and verifies the stored relationship is null.
