Tolerate various "bad data" cases in `markup_gaps()`

Namely such that when the previous-df-row by our shm-abs-'index' doesn't
exist we ignore certain cases which are likely due to borked-but-benign
samples written to the tsdb or rt shm buffers prior.

Particularly we now ignore,
- any `dt`/`prev_dt` values which are UNIX-epoch timestamped (val of 0).
- any row-is-first-row in the df; there is no previous.
- any missing previous datum by 'index', in which case we lookup the
  `wdts` prior row and use that instead.
  * this would indicate a missing sample for the time-step but we can
    still detect a "gap" by looking at the prior row, by df-abs-index
    `i`, and use its timestamp to determine the period/size of missing
    samples (which need to likely still be retrieved).
  * in this case i'm leaving in a pause-point for introspecting these
    rarer cases when `--pdb` is passed via CLI.

Relatedly in the `piker store` CLI ep,
- add `--pdb` flag to `piker store`, pass it verbatim as `debug_mode`.
- when `times` has only a single row, don't calc a `period_s` median.
- only trace `null_segs` when in debug mode.
- always markup/dedupe gaps for `period_s==60`
