fix: prevent unsafe PID conversion in process termination

Fixed the dangerous PID conversion bug:
- Removed: unwrap_or(0) which could signal PID 0 (all processes)
- Added: Let-else pattern for safe PID conversion
- Added: Warning log when PID exceeds i32::MAX
- Added: Early return false on conversion failure

Enhanced documentation:
- Added # Returns section documenting all three failure modes
- Explicitly mentions the PID > 2,147,483,647 edge case
- Clear explanation of when true vs false is returned
- Consistent documentation across Unix and Windows versions

Added context logging:
- Added debug log in stop_child_with_grace when termination fails
- Includes module name, instance ID, and PID for debugging
- Helps identify which module/instance had termination issues

Added comprehensive unit tests:
- Sending SIGTERM to a valid running process (Unix)
- Handling already-exited processes (returns false)
- Windows behavior (always returns false, no SIGTERM support)
- PID conversion edge cases (u32 to i32)
- Normal PID range conversions

Tests cover all platform-specific behaviors and edge cases
to prevent regressions in process termination logic.
