feat(runtime): root exit is graceful shutdown of the forest roots

The RFC 014 root-exit sweep hard-stopped every live slot once nothing was
runnable. That deferral privileged queued work over parked-with-a-pending-
wake work (a sleeper was killed, a queued cast was drained) and any attempt
to widen the notion of pending wake (timers, fd readiness) re-wedges the
run on the periodic-timer daemon the sweep exists to end.

Root exit now means "the program is done": finalize_actor delivers
request_shutdown to every forest root — each live actor whose parent is
the run (ROOT_PID) or is dead — synchronously, before the live-count
decrement. Supervisors cascade per child Shutdown policy; trapping actors
may Continue/drain with working timers and end the run when they stop
themselves; non-trapping actors are stopped outright. No forcing sweep.

Removes root_exited/root_swept, Pop::RootDrain and the idle-verdict
condition; adds tests/root_exit.rs.

//! Root exit — the run's initial actor returning means "the program is done".
//!
//! When the root finalizes, the runtime delivers `request_shutdown` to every
//! **forest root**: each live actor whose parent is the run itself (a plain
//! `spawn` from the root closure) or is already dead. Nothing below a live
//! parent is touched directly — a supervisor gets one request and runs its
//! own ordered shutdown per child `Shutdown` policy.
//!
//! - Non-trapping actors are stopped outright, exactly as by
//! `request_shutdown` — a `spawn(|| { sleep(..); work() })` the root did
//! not `join` does NOT get to finish. Join it, supervise it, or trap.
//! - Trapping actors get `handle_shutdown` / an `ExitSignal{Shutdown}` and
//! may keep running (`Continue`, drain, then stop themselves) — timers and
//! all; the run ends when they do. There is no second, forcing sweep.
//! - A periodic-timer daemon (the classic wedge) never blocks `run()`.
