Jira issue: CRDB-67205

Start by reproducing kv/kvserver_test.TestSnapshotHardlinksRSManifest, using the failure report and its race=true parameters. Read pkg/kv/kvserver/client_snapshot_manifest_test.go, client_basalt_manifest_helpers_test.go, and the manifest installation path through pkg/storage/rs_engine_testing.go. Done means the test passes reliably under the reported configuration and the failure is addressed.
