fix: ensure cancel button properly aborts streaming responses

- Set abort flag immediately in ClineProvider.cancelTask() before calling abortTask()
- Add early abort check at the beginning of streaming loop before processing chunks
- Add proper iterator cleanup when aborting stream
- Keep existing abort check after chunk processing for redundancy

This ensures the cancel button works even when chunks are arriving constantly,
addressing the issue where the abort flag appeared to never be set.

Fixes #7014
