James Dansereau 46d4f03e5a D134: task-done SP/DP events must not be dropped into a full sched interruptQ
The frame-2 boot hang blamed on D117 flakiness since M-13 is a real bug:
osSpTaskStartGo posted OS_EVENT_SP/DP with OS_MESG_NOBLOCK into the 8-slot
scheduler interruptQ that the 60 Hz VI pacemaker also fills. A gfx task runs
the whole frame synchronously on the sched thread, so a slow early frame lets
retraces fill the queue and the done event is silently discarded -> curRSPTask
never clears -> pendingGfx never clears -> permanent stall.

portPostEventForce() drops the oldest (stale retrace) message and retries;
portPostVIEvent reserves 2 slots. -level_09: 6/6 boots to frame 600, 0
heartbeats (pre-fix 1/3).

Also hardens tools_pc/level_sweep.sh: 45s watchdog, lockdir serialization,
stray-process kill, one retry on NO-FRAMES.
