Fix browser cleanup consistency and screenshot recovery

Unify browser session teardown so manual close, inactivity cleanup, and emergency shutdown all follow the same cleanup path instead of partially duplicating logic.

This changes browser_close() to delegate to cleanup_browser(), which means recording shutdown, Browserbase release, activity bookkeeping cleanup, and local socket-directory removal now happen consistently. It also updates emergency cleanup to route through cleanup_all_browsers() and explicitly clear in-memory tracking state after teardown so stale active-session, last-activity, and recording entries are not left behind on exit.

The screenshot fallback path has also been fixed. _extract_screenshot_path_from_text() now matches real absolute PNG paths, including quoted output, so browser_vision() can recover screenshots when agent-browser emits human-readable text instead of JSON.

Regression coverage was added in tests/tools/test_browser_cleanup.py for screenshot path extraction, cleanup_browser() state removal, browser_close() delegation, and emergency cleanup state clearing.

Verified with:
- python -m pytest tests/tools/test_browser_cleanup.py -q
- python -m pytest tests/tools/test_browser_console.py tests/gateway/test_send_image_file.py -q
