Subject: [PATCH] Add per-actor `setproctitle` via `devx._proctitle`
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New `tractor.devx._proctitle` mod sets each
sub-actor's `argv[0]` (and kernel `comm`) to
`tractor[<aid.reprol()>]` — e.g.
`tractor[doggy@1027301b]` — so `ps`/`top`/`htop`
and `acli.pytree`/reaper tooling can identify
actors at a glance without parsing full cmdlines.

Deats,
- `set_actor_proctitle()` wraps the `setproctitle`
  pkg with `ImportError` guard; optional at runtime
  but listed in `pyproject.toml` so default installs
  benefit.
- called early in `_child._actor_child_main()` after
  `Actor` construction, before `_trio_main()` entry.
- tests in `tests/devx/test_proctitle.py`: format
  unit test, `/proc/{cmdline,comm}` integration
  test, negative detection test.

Resolves #457
