Simplify Windows hang test to focus on the actual issue

- First test verifies stdio_client handles subprocess exit without hanging
- Second test uses a simple JSON echo server
- Both tests focus on verifying no hang occurs (issue #552)
- Use dedent for cleaner inline Python scripts
- Remove unused imports
