CaliBrain 5247ec6124 fix(bypass): close the gaps a helper that outlives its request opened (#1244)
assumptions the code around it still made were written for a helper that
was killed after every request.

A bypass that hits the child's deadline is cancelled from the calling
thread, which returns the moment the cancellation is scheduled - so the
helper went on to serve the next request while the abandoned one was
still closing its browser, on the same loop, sharing the DISPLAY globals
and one process group. The deadline now lives inside the loop, where
asyncio.wait_for() waits for the unwind before it raises, with the
calling thread keeping a bounded backstop in case the cleanup wedges
too. Both budgets are set so the child still answers before the parent
gives up on it.

The helper's cookie store survived the request as well, and the whole of
it is exported back to the parent on every answer - so clearance the
parent had purged for one host came back the next time some other host
was solved, the dead-cookie resurrection _redirect_loop_handoff purges
to avoid. The child starts each request from an empty store again; the
parent already runs the cached-cookie check against a superset of it.

DNS config is compared against what the helper is actually resolving
through rather than skipped whenever the parent reports "auto", so a
user flipping CUSTOM_DNS back to auto - which applies live - reaches a
warm helper instead of leaving it on an abandoned DoH resolver.

The 15s exit grace is now asked only of a helper that can still read its
stdin. One dropped mid-bypass never returns to that read, so the grace
could only end in the kill - while a user cancelling a download, and
every bypass queued behind them on LOCKED, waited it out.

Result files are cleaned on the timeout and cancellation paths too,
staging file included, rather than only when the answer was read.
