fix(lib): stop cbuf_put/get orphaning their mutex on cancellation, hanging vtaskmgr_fini
pthread_cond_wait() reacquires its mutex before honoring a cancellation,
but mylock.c installed no cleanup handler to release it again -- a
thread cancelled mid-wait terminated holding the lock forever. vtaskmgr's
pthread_cancel()-based teardown could land there from three angles
(dispatcher cancelled while polling the shared queue, or a vcpu racing
back into it after its own shutdown signal), permanently deadlocking any
other thread that touched the same queue and hanging vtaskmgr_fini()'s
pthread_join() indefinitely.

Reproduced live as xce_test hanging on Ctrl-D exit once a connection
context was entered; gdb confirmed a vcpu thread blocked forever on a
mutex owned by an already-exited thread ID.

Fix: cbuf_put()/cbuf_get()/cbuf_timedget() now unlock via a
pthread_cleanup_push/pop handler around the wait, so a cancelled waiter
always releases the mutex. vcpu_idle()/vcpu_entry() also recognize the
teardown poison pill and exit immediately instead of needlessly
re-announcing into the already-dead shared queue.

New test_vtaskmgr_teardown.c reproduces the race deterministically
(self-pinned to one CPU, since true multi-core parallelism rarely hits
the window) and bounds vtaskmgr_fini() with a timed join so a
regression fails fast instead of hanging the suite. Logged as bug-1810.
