Spark (DGX) 3c7cff843d fix(photon): dispatch fatal-error notification from a detached task
Follow-up to #69112. That PR hardened the shared gateway dispatch path in
gateway/run.py against the *caller* being cancelled. A second, self-referential
cancellation specific to PhotonAdapter sits one layer underneath it and survived
that fix.

PhotonAdapter is the only platform adapter that awaits _notify_fatal_error()
inline, on the same task that detected the fault. Both _monitor_sidecar_health
and _supervise_sidecar run as self._sidecar_health_task /
self._sidecar_supervisor_task, and the notification routes into
GatewayRunner._handle_adapter_fatal_error_impl, which tears the adapter down via
_safe_adapter_disconnect -> disconnect(). disconnect() then cancels
self._sidecar_health_task and awaits it -- which, when the health task is what
raised the notification, means disconnect() cancels its own caller several
plain-await frames up.

disconnect()'s `task is not asyncio.current_task()` guard does not catch this.
The current task where that guard evaluates is the wrapper
_await_adapter_cleanup_with_timeout creates around disconnect() via
asyncio.ensure_future, not the health task further up the chain, so the guard
passes and the cancel lands.

CancelledError stopped subclassing Exception in Python 3.8, so the
`except Exception` that wrapped the inline notify call never saw it. The health
task died silently mid-handoff: no log line, no "exception never retrieved"
warning (cancellation is normal asyncio), and no retry. The platform stayed
stranded until the gateway was restarted by hand.

Fix: dispatch the notification onto a new task, the same pattern
DiscordAdapter._handle_bot_task_done already uses for this reason. disconnect()
can then cancel the health/supervisor task freely without that cancellation
reaching the code still running the handoff, so the handoff always reaches the
reconnect queue. Both Photon fatal call sites are converted: the health-poll
path (observed wedging) and the sidecar-crash path (same shape, not yet
observed). gateway/run.py is untouched.

Observed twice on a self-hosted gateway, ~4h38m and ~52min of silent inbound
outage, both cleared only by a manual restart, both post-dating #69112's merge.
In each case the fatal log line appears and `queued for background reconnection`
never does.

Tests: new tests/plugins/platforms/photon/test_fatal_notify_self_cancel.py
covers the self-cancellation (fails with CancelledError without this change),
that the dispatch does not block its caller, that a failing notification warns
rather than raising, and a source guard against reintroducing either inline
await. Two assertions in test_overflow_recovery.py that drove these coroutines
directly now drain pending tasks before asserting delivery, since the
notification is deliberately no longer awaited inline.

Prepared with agent assistance and reviewed before submission.
