Review Comment:
   Acknowledging the general guidance: public-interface changes should be 
minimized and delayed. Justification for keeping these two on the interface in 
this PR:
   
   **In-tree consumers** (this PR + close follow-ups):
   - `ContentEntryAdapters.manifestInfo()` (this PR) populates the v4 root 
manifest's `manifest_info` struct from `manifest.replacedFilesCount()` / 
`replacedRowsCount()`.
   - `MergingSnapshotProducer.validateAddedDVs` (follow-up phase) filters 
concurrent data manifests by `replacedFilesCount > 0` to detect v4 colocated-DV 
write conflicts — without it, every concurrent data manifest must be 
deep-scanned.
   
   **The cast alternative is unsafe.** `V1/V2/V3/V4 
Metadata.ManifestFileWrapper` are delegate wrappers used inside 
`ManifestListWriter`. `instanceof GenericManifestFile` returns false for them 
and would silently mask the v4 metadata they delegate to a wrapped 
`GenericManifestFile`. The interface-default pattern matches v3's existing 
extensions (`firstRowId`, `keyMetadata`, `containsNaN`) and survives the 
delegation chain.
   
   **A `TrackedFile`-based parallel v4 API was considered.** Would require 
rewriting `ManifestGroup` and every engine that consumes `FileScanTask`. The 
cost is disproportionate to the savings.
