Fix AttributeError from __del__ during interpreter shutdown

Discussion/issue GH-706 reports an "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object
has no attribute 'info'" emitted from Client.__del__ when the program
exits. Root cause: at interpreter shutdown Python may replace module
globals (e.g. snap7.client.logger) with None before __del__ runs, so
disconnect()'s logger.info / logger.debug calls blow up mid-
finalization. The error doesn't crash the process but pollutes stderr
and can mask real bugs.

Add snap7._finalize.safe_finalize(cleanup) as the canonical helper
for __del__-style cleanup: it early-returns under sys.is_finalizing()
and swallows any exception the cleanup path raises (a __del__ that
raises just prints "Exception ignored" anyway, so swallowing improves
signal without hiding well-caught code-path errors).

Wire Client.__del__ and Partner.__del__ through it. Partner already
had a narrower try/except, so this is a small tightening there and a
real fix for Client. Any future class that needs a destructor should
use the same helper.

Regression test reproduces the reported failure by patching the
module-level logger to None and asserting __del__ is a no-op; without
the fix the test surfaces the same AttributeError the reporter sees.

Longer term the recommended pattern stays: call disconnect() / stop()
explicitly or use the context-manager protocol. __del__ is a safety
net, not the primary lifecycle path.
