feat: instrument the websockets >= 13 asyncio client; stabilize CI cases

- sw_websockets now instruments BOTH client implementations: the legacy
  websockets.legacy client (kept until upstream removes it) and the new
  websockets.asyncio ClientConnection.handshake (websockets >= 13, the
  default since 14) — previously apps on the modern API silently got no
  spans. Same span shape; sw8 injected via additional_headers. The test
  consumer prefers the new API, so CI exercises the legacy path on
  10.3/10.4 and the new path on 17.0.1.
- websockets 17 requires Python >= 3.11, so the support matrix is split
  per python version (17.0.1 not attempted on 3.10) — fixes the 3.10
  http job.
- sw_fork_support: forking with a live parent gRPC channel is subject to
  upstream at-fork races (grpc/grpc#43055) that can silently break the
  child's reporting, which flaked CI on 3.12/3.13. The child's segment
  is now best-effort (segmentSize: ge 1, parent segment asserted); the
  parent also waits for the child's port before serving so readiness
  probes cannot create error spans. Deterministic cross-process trace
  validation remains in sw_gunicorn.

All paths re-validated against the mock collector: websockets 10.4
(legacy path), 17.0.1 (new asyncio path), and the fork case — full
dataValidate pass each.
