fix: improve gateway PID recovery and port detection (#660)

- Refactor port detection into reusable getListeningPids/killListeningPids
- Add ss command fallback when lsof is unavailable
- Extract readPidFile for cleaner PID file reading
- Remove unnecessary PowerShell candidate from Windows shell detection
- Add PID validity check in gateway_state.json fallback (Number.isFinite + > 0)
