[PATCH stalld 01/36] tests: Add pre-test and post-test cleanup of stalld processes

From: Clark Williams <[email protected]>

Add kill_existing_stalld() function to test_helpers.sh and
kill_existing_stalld_processes() function to run_tests.sh to ensure
no stale stalld processes from previous test runs interfere with new
tests. This prevents orphaned processes from interrupted test runs
from causing false negatives or unexpected behavior.

Changes:
- test_helpers.sh: Add kill_existing_stalld() with graceful then
  forced shutdown, export the function, and call from
  setup_test_environment()
- run_tests.sh: Add kill_existing_stalld_processes() with logging,
  call from init_tests() before tests start, and call from
  cleanup_runner() on exit

This ensures clean test environment initialization and proper cleanup
even when test runs are interrupted.
