Studio: cross-session backstop to reap a leftover llama-server on startup (#6431)
* Reap Studio child processes when the parent dies abnormally

Standalone `unsloth studio` launches orphaned cloudflared and llama-server when
the parent exited without running the cooperative shutdown path (terminal-window
close, Task Manager End Task, SIGKILL): the children reparented to init and kept
running, leaving an authenticated Cloudflare tunnel up for days.

Add utils/process_lifetime.py: a parent-owned Windows Job Object
(JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE, children auto-inherit) plus Linux
PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, behind a best-effort helper that mirrors the desktop app's
windows_job.rs. initialize_parent_lifetime() runs at the top of run_server;
long-lived spawns (cloudflared, llama-server, RAG embedder, llama.cpp updater)
get the PDEATHSIG preexec, multiprocessing workers are adopted into the job, and
_graceful_shutdown plus atexit gain a terminate_all() backstop sweep. The
cooperative shutdown path is otherwise unchanged.

Verified on Linux: killing the parent now reaps cloudflared and llama-server
within ~2s instead of orphaning them.

* test: add real Windows kill-on-job-close integration test

Spawn a parent that installs the job and a child that inherits it, terminate
the parent, and assert the child is reaped. Skipped off Windows. Also make the
liveness probe Windows-safe (os.kill(pid, 0) terminates on Windows).

* Fix Win64 handle truncation in the Job Object calls

Set explicit argtypes so the 64-bit job/process handles are not marshaled as
c_int (which truncated them on Win64, failing AssignProcessToJobObject). Assert
install success in the Windows integration test.

* Bind multiprocessing workers to parent death; harden the sweep

Review follow-ups:
- Multiprocessing workers (inference/export/training/data-recipe/Xet) cannot be
  given a preexec_fn by the parent, so adopt_pid alone left them orphanable on a
  Linux SIGKILL. They now bind themselves with PR_SET_PDEATHSIG at startup via
  bind_current_process_to_parent_lifetime(), wired into the shared
  run_without_native_path_secret entrypoint and the Xet child entry.
- Wire the previously-missed data-recipe worker through adopt_pid.
- terminate_all now honors its timeout: SIGTERM, wait, then SIGKILL the
  survivors, so cooperative children can exit cleanly.
- Track adopted pids with a /proc starttime identity and add forget_pid, so the
  shutdown sweep never signals a recycled pid.

* Studio: cross-session backstop to reap a leftover llama-server on startup

Builds on the parent-lifetime reaper: the Windows Job Object / PR_SET_PDEATHSIG
path kills children when the parent dies, and terminate_all() sweeps the living
parent's children. Neither covers an orphan left by an already-dead Studio:
terminate_all()'s registry is in-memory, PR_SET_PDEATHSIG has no macOS
equivalent, and both are best-effort.

This records the spawned llama-server PID to a pidfile under the active studio
root (removed on _kill_process). The startup reaper kills that exact PID first,
verifying it is still a llama-server to guard against PID reuse, then clears the
pidfile. It is path-independent, so it also catches an orphan the install-root
match would miss; the pidfile only ever names a Studio-spawned server, so
unrelated user processes (vllm, games) are never candidates. The existing
root-gated enumeration stays as a further fallback.

Adds tests: kills a recorded live server (real subprocess, verifies the actual
SIGKILL), skips a reused non-llama PID, cleans a stale/missing pidfile, and
clears the pidfile on kill.

* Studio: only reap a recorded llama-server when it is a true orphan

Harden the pidfile cross-session reaper so it cannot kill a live server
and does not crash on Windows.

- Reap the recorded PID only when its parent is gone (a genuine orphan),
  so constructing a second LlamaCppBackend in-process (the helper and
  advisor paths each build one) can never kill the active chat server.
  The check is topology independent: it holds whether the sweep runs in
  the main process or a worker.
- Record pid:starttime and verify the start-time identity before killing,
  so a PID recycled to another process is never reaped.
- Fall back to SIGTERM when signal.SIGKILL is undefined (Windows), where
  os.kill maps it to TerminateProcess, instead of raising and leaving the
  orphan alive while clearing the record.

Update and extend the pidfile tests: a live server with a running parent
is spared and its record kept, an identity mismatch is skipped, the
record-to-reap round trip kills a matching orphan, and the Windows
SIGKILL fallback uses SIGTERM.
