## Bugfixes

The 2.8.11 fix wired the failure stack through the **natural-throw** path only: a
processor that `throw`s gets its stack sent on `FAIL` (persisted server-side) and set
on the local `failed` event's `job.stacktrace`. A processor that catches the error and
reports it explicitly with `await job.moveToFailed(err)` went through a different code
path that never touched the stack, so, as @arthurvanl's repro showed, `job.stacktrace`
was `null` on the `failed` event and `queue.getJob(id).stacktrace` stayed `null`, while
an equivalent natural throw populated both.

- **`moveToFailed()` sends the stack.** The explicit handler now computes the stack
  lines and includes them on `FAIL` (`stack`, TCP) / `manager.fail(..., wireStack)`
  (embedded), so the server persists them exactly like the throw path, visible via
  `getJob()` and in DLQ entries.
- **Local `failed` event populated.** The manual-move handler now sets
  `job.stacktrace` (capped at `job.stackTraceLimit`) on the emitted job, matching the
  natural-throw behavior.
- The stack-splitting logic is now a single shared `computeStackLines()` helper used by
  both paths, so they can't drift apart again.

Reproduced in both modes with `test/repro-issue74-movetofailed-stacktrace.test.ts`
(local event + server-side `getJob()` persistence, embedded and TCP).
