fix(pydriver): prepend subprocess warmup to user code

After snapshot restore, the first subprocess.run with capture_output
crashes on an unresolvable CoW page fault. Prepending two no-op
subprocess.run(['true']) calls in the same PyRun_String resolves the
needed CoW pages before the piped subprocess runs.
