Be ultra-correct in `Portal.open_context()`

This took way too long to get right but hopefully will give us grok-able
and correct context exit semantics going forward B)

The main fixes were:
- always shielding the `MsgStream.aclose()` call on teardown to avoid
  bubbling a `Cancelled`.
- properly absorbing any `ContextCancelled` in cases due to "self
  cancellation" using the new `Context.canceller` in the logic.
- capturing any error raised by the `Context.result()` call in the
  "normal exit, result received" case and setting it as the
  `Context._local_error` so that self-cancels can be easily measured via
  `Context.cancelled_caught` in same way as remote-error caused
  cancellations.
- extremely detailed comments around all of the cancellation-error cases
  to avoid ever getting confused about the control flow in the future XD
