fix: comprehensive ZMQ timeout and cleanup fixes based on detailed analysis

Based on excellent diagnostic suggestions, implemented multiple fixes:

1. Diagnostics:
   - Added faulthandler to dump stack traces 10s before CI timeout
   - Enhanced CI script with trap handler to show processes/network on timeout
   - Added diag() function to capture pstree, processes, network listeners

2. ZMQ Socket Timeouts (critical fix):
   - Added RCVTIMEO=1000ms and SNDTIMEO=1000ms to all client sockets
   - Added IMMEDIATE=1 to avoid connection blocking
   - Reduced searcher timeout from 30s to 5s
   - This prevents infinite blocking on recv/send operations

3. Context.instance() Fix (major issue):
   - NEVER call term() or destroy() on Context.instance()
   - This was causing blocking as it waits for ALL sockets to close
   - Now only set linger=0 without terminating

4. Enhanced Process Cleanup:
   - Added _reap_children fixture for aggressive session-end cleanup
   - Better recursive child process termination
   - Added final wait to ensure cleanup completes

The 180s timeout was happening because:
- ZMQ recv() was blocking indefinitely without timeout
- Context.instance().term() was waiting for all sockets
- Child processes weren't being fully cleaned up

These changes should prevent the hanging completely.
