Teknium 402d048eb6 fix(gateway): also unlink stale PID + lock files on cleanup
Follow-up for salvaged PR #14179.

`_cleanup_invalid_pid_path` previously called `remove_pid_file()` for the
default PID path, but that helper defensively refuses to delete a PID file
whose pid field differs from `os.getpid()` (to protect --replace handoffs).
Every realistic stale-PID scenario is exactly that case: a crashed/Ctrl+C'd
gateway left behind a PID file owned by a now-dead foreign PID.

Once `get_running_pid()` has confirmed the runtime lock is inactive, the
on-disk metadata is known to belong to a dead process, so we can force-unlink
both the PID file and the sibling `gateway.lock` directly instead of going
through the defensive helper.

Also adds a regression test with a dead foreign PID that would have failed
against the previous cleanup logic.
