[18.5] Fix test failure by adjusting dates to match partition range

What does this MR do and why?

This backports !211190 (merged) to 18-5-stable-ee because we have seen pipeline failures as well.

Related: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/test-failure-issues/-/issues/12725+

The test was failing because it tried to insert a record with date '2025-07-15', which is before the partition range(starts August 1, 2025). When the sync trigger tried to copy this to the partitioned table, it failed because no July partition exists. This MR fixes the test by:

  • Changing test data to use dates within the August partition range (starting from 2025-08-01)
  • Overriding START_DATE to 2025-08-10 in the test context to verify the exclusion logic
  • Ensuring the migration correctly identifies min_id for records on or after START_DATE
