feat: US-028 Pi interactive tests pass — PTY icrnl fix + process exit plumbing

- Fix setRawMode to disable icrnl (CR→NL conversion) on PTY line discipline
- Add icrnl field to LineDisciplineConfig and KernelInterface.ptySetDiscipline
- Add _notifyProcessExit bridge handler to flush pending timers and stdin on exit
- Register _ptySetRawMode and _notifyProcessExit in V8 SYNC_BRIDGE_FNS
- process.exit() now clears JS timers and calls _notifyProcessExit before throwing
- Exit tests use grace-period pattern for V8 event loop drain
