fix(db): account for cursor and offset in isPredicateSubset deduplication

The DeduplicatedLoadSubset class was not considering cursor or offset when
checking if a request could be deduplicated. This could lead to incorrect
deduplication where requests loading different pages were treated as duplicates.

Changes:
- Update isPredicateSubset to check cursor.lastKey for cursor-based pagination
- Update isPredicateSubset to check offset ranges for offset-based pagination
- Update test expectations to reflect correct deduplication behavior
- Remove accidental .only modifier in pagination e2e tests
- Remove unused 'or' import from electric.ts
