fix(gateway): tolerate non-UTF-8 status/pid files in gateway status reads

`_read_json_file` caught OSError but not UnicodeDecodeError, so a status
file holding binary/non-UTF-8 bytes (truncated or clobbered write) would
crash the gateway status path instead of being treated as unreadable.
UnicodeDecodeError is a ValueError subclass, not an OSError, so it
escaped the existing guard.

Widen the catch to (OSError, UnicodeDecodeError) at both read sites in
gateway/status.py — `_read_json_file` and the sibling `_read_pid_record`,
which had the identical gap. Adds tests covering binary input (returns
None) and valid input (still parses) for both.
