docs: correct the v0.27.0 backfill claim — prod needs no backfill

The v0.27.0 notes said prod held 4 histograms that would stay empty until a
backfill. That was wrong, and asserted without checking.

Verified: all four recovered files (K440HJCN.3C0H, K557IF1U.8K0H,
T191HVNP.0S0H, T193L0XM.CI0H) are archive-only — none appears in the production
store or the events DB. Re-running stride detection over the prod store's
10,215 histogram binaries under both the old and new code shows 0 files whose
decode changes.

So the partial-final-block fix is forward-looking: it matters for future
ingests of sub-minute histograms with a partial final block, not for anything
already stored.

TOOL_VERSION still moves with the release, so a future backfill run will
regenerate the whole store instead of skipping. Harmless — byte-identical
output for every stored file — but it costs the full ~2 hours on the NAS, so
it should not be started casually.
