Execute snapshot on multiple sources in parallel.

Supports both incremental (default) and blocking snapshot types via the
snapshot_type field:

- **incremental**: Uses watermarking to capture data while streaming continues.
- **blocking**: Pauses streaming during snapshot. Required for keyless tables.
  Executed with lower concurrency and staggered timing to avoid overwhelming
  Kafka Connect.

Supports two modes for source selection:
1. Explicit IDs: Pass a list of source IDs
2. Select all: Set select_all=true with optional filters

Returns partial success results - continues processing even if individual snapshots fail
(e.g. 409 when a snapshot is already running for a source).
