replace forkpty() with posix_openpt() + posix_spawn() (T-96)
`forkpty` calls `fork()` underneath. `fork()` in a multithreaded process is unsafe: only the calling thread survives in the child, but libc locks held by other threads remain "locked forever." With the multi-threaded Dart VM as parent, ~5% of spawns deadlocked in the child before `execve` (forensic probe: child stuck in S state with comm=`DartWorker`, master fd never sees POLLIN). `posix_spawn` uses `vfork` on glibc/musl/macOS, keeping the parent suspended until execve completes — no Dart code runs in the child. Pty pair built via the POSIX-standard `posix_openpt` / `grantpt` / `unlockpt` / `ptsname` sequence. Probed: zero hangs in 300 sequential spawns vs ~5% before. Behavior change: missing executable / missing workingDirectory now surface as a `PtyException` thrown by `NativePty.start` rather than a diagnostic written from the child to the slave PTY. Cleaner error path for callers. Side benefit: drops the `libutil.so.1` dynamic-library dependency. PTY now resolves entirely against libc via `DynamicLibrary.process()`. Splits the library-level `@Tags(['forkpty'])` on session_test.dart into a per-test tag, so the now-runnable-under-flutter-test cases contribute to coverage. `dart_test.yaml` declares the tag so the exclude-tags filters honor it. Drops the `retry: 2` workaround from the formerly-flaky registry test. D-5 amended. Trims session-introduced CHANGELOG entries that were over-verbose for the Keep-a-Changelog format.
