fix(cli): detect zombies in server stop poll loop
The `foreground_start_writes_tracing_to_storage_server_log` test
consistently took ~10.4 s. 10.3 s of that was spent inside `fabro
server stop`, which polls `process_running(pid)` every 100 ms until
the server exits. The test's server is spawned as a child of the test
process (`child.spawn()`), and the test only reaps it via
`child.wait_with_output()` after `fabro server stop` returns. After
Step A's revert, `process_running` is a plain `kill(pid, 0)`, which
returns true for a zombie — so the poll saw the dead-but-unreaped
server as alive and burned the full 10 s timeout.

Add `fabro_proc::process_running_strict(pid)` — the same
ps-shelling zombie-aware predicate commit 1ed8e6cbd introduced — and
use it only in `fabro-cli`'s server stop poll. The hot paths that
motivated Step A (test-harness marker scans, daemon-liveness probes)
continue to use the cheap `process_running`.

The ps cost (~2 ms per call) is paid at most once per 100 ms poll
interval and only while the server process still exists. In a normal
clean shutdown that's zero calls (process exits before the first
poll). In the zombie scenario the loop exits after ~1 poll instead
of running out the full timeout.

Verified on this branch:

  cargo nextest run -p fabro-cli -E 'test(foreground_start_writes_tracing)'
  before: 10.48s, 10.45s, 10.42s
  after:  0.35s,  0.32s,  0.25s (30x faster)

The zombie regression test removed in commit da87f978c returns as
`process_running_strict_returns_false_for_unreaped_zombie_child`,
and also asserts that the cheap `process_running` keeps its
"zombie == alive" semantics so the harness hot paths stay honest.
