Add test demonstrating issue #1027 and verifying PR #1044 fixes it
This test shows that MCP server cleanup code in lifespan doesn't run when the process is terminated, but does run when stdin is closed first (as implemented in PR #1044). The test includes: - Demonstration of current broken behavior (cleanup doesn't run) - Verification that stdin closure allows graceful shutdown - Windows-specific ResourceWarning handling - Detailed documentation of the issue and solution Github-Issue:#1027

Test for issue #1027: The cleanup procedure after "yield" in lifespan is unreachable on Windows
3+
4+
This test demonstrates that on Windows, when an MCP server is terminated via process.terminate(),
5+
the cleanup code after yield in the lifespan context manager is not executed.
6+
7+
The issue occurs because Windows' TerminateProcess() forcefully kills the process without
8+
allowing cleanup handlers to run.

Test that verifies cleanup code in MCP server lifespan is executed.

This test creates an MCP server that writes to marker files:
30+
1. When the server starts (before yield)
31+
2. When the server cleanup runs (after yield)
32+
33+
On Windows with the current implementation, the cleanup file is never created

because process.terminate() kills the process immediately.

Note on Windows ResourceWarning:

On Windows, we may see ResourceWarning about unclosed file descriptors.

- We're manually managing the process lifecycle

- Windows file handle cleanup works differently than Unix

- The warning doesn't indicate a real issue - cleanup still works

We filter this warning on Windows only to avoid test noise.
