ci: sample runner state during the nextest step (#5440)

The Test and Lint lane intermittently stalls until the inner 75m timeout
kills the cargo process group (issue #5394). The evidence collected since
#5402 shows the stall can begin in the build phase before any test runs
(run 30449339653: last output at minute 4 of the nextest step, then 71
silent minutes until SIGTERM), but the post-mortem pgrep always reports
nothing because GNU timeout has already terminated the whole process
group by the time it runs.

Add a background sampler to the nextest step that appends system and
process snapshots (loadavg, PSI, memory, disk, top-RSS processes,
cargo/rustc/linker/build-script processes, D-state processes) to the
existing test-and-lint artifact every 60 seconds, and record kernel
OOM/kill events in the post-mortem diagnostics. The last samples before
a timeout identify the wedged process or the resource pressure that
caused the stall. This only instruments the failure mode where the
runner survives; jobs whose runner disappears entirely still upload no
artifacts and need runner-pool-side logs.
