show-status: exit code was always 0 — three compounding bugs

show-status.sh could never report failure. The ansible task that wraps it
('Execute show-status.sh and fail on failure') therefore always passed, on every
host, regardless of node state. Three bugs, each masking the next:

1. $? read too late. `code=0` sits between the sync-status.sh call and
   `if [ $? -ne 0 ]`. A plain assignment succeeds and overwrites $? with 0, so
   the condition was ALWAYS false and the else branch always taken.

2. The else branch was inverted. It is the sync-status-SUCCEEDED path, yet it set
   `code=1; any_failure=true` — marking healthy nodes as failures.

3. any_failure could never propagate. check_sync_status runs backgrounded (`&`),
   i.e. in a subshell, so `any_failure=true` inside it is discarded; and the
   `wait "$pid"` loop threw away each job's exit status.

(3) hid (1) and (2): a script that believed every node had failed still exited 0,
so nobody saw it.

Fix: capture rc immediately; restore the intended logic (success => 0, syncing or
lagging => tolerated, anything else => failure); propagate failure in the PARENT
via `wait "$pid" || any_failure=true`, since the subshell cannot.

Verified with a stubbed sync-status.sh:

  scenario              before   after
  all online              0        0
  one syncing             0        0   (tolerated)
  one lagging             0        0   (tolerated)
  one ERROR               0        1
  ALL error               0        1

Behaviour for healthy fleets is unchanged; only genuine failures now surface.
