Add `main_thread_forkserver` CI matrix rows

Add `capture` dimension to CI matrix so fork-based
backends run `--capture=sys` (fork-child × `--capture=fd`
is a known deadlock). Non-fork backends keep `fd`.

Deats,
- two `include:` rows for `main_thread_forkserver` on
  linux py3.13: tcp + uds, both `capture: 'sys'`
- job name updated to show `capture=` mode
- timeout bumped 16 -> 20 min to accommodate the
  additional matrix cells
- `--capture=${{ matrix.capture }}` replaces hardcoded
  `--capture=fd`
