Add a `tractor.post_mortem()` API test + example

Since turns out we didn't have a single example using that API Bo

The test granular-ly checks all use cases:
- `.post_mortem()` manual calls in both subactor and root.
- ensuring built-in RPC crash handling activates after each manual one
  from ^.
- drafted some call-stack frame checking that i commented out for now
  since we need to first do ANSI escape code removal due to the
  colorization that `pdbp` does by default.
  |_ added a TODO with SO link on `assert_before()`.

Also todo-staged a shielded-pause test to match with the already
existing-but-needs-refinement example B)
