Harden `test_infected_asyncio` for fork spawners

Deats,
- `test_echoserver_detailed_mechanics`: add `is_forking_spawner`
  param, wrap `main()` in `fa_main()` with per-backend
  `trio.fail_after` (4s fork / 1s trio) to cap cancel-cascade
  teardown that compounds under forkserver.
- `test_sigint_closes_lifetime_stack`: swap `start_method` param
  for `is_forking_spawner`, pre-init `tmp_file`/`ctx` to `None` so
  KBI firing before `open_context` body doesn't `UnboundLocalError`,
  add `pytest.fail` guard for the spawn-time IPC race case, arm
  `signal.alarm` AFK-safety cap (10s) under fork backends

Also,
- `pytestmark`: add `track_orphaned_uds_per_test` +
  `detect_runaway_subactors_per_test` fixtures.
- `delay()`: hardcode `return 1e3` at top (debug override still in
  place).
