YuryShkoda f84af4ac06 fix(api): return prompt error response instead of hanging when a SAS session fails
The SAS-runtime poll loop in processProgram only checked for
SessionState.completed, so a session that failed (e.g. via %abort;)
left the loop spinning on delay(50) forever - the request never
resolved, even though the SAS log had already been written. Split a single completed-on-either-outcome
flag into separate completed/failed states without updating this loop.

- processProgram now throws when session.state becomes 'failed'
- Execution.ts catches that, reads the complete log (guaranteed
  complete since the session's process has already exited by then),
  and throws a SessionExecutionError carrying it
- stp.ts/code.ts surface { ..., log } in the HTTP error response
- add unit tests for the poll loop and the log-enrichment logic, plus
  a mock SAS executable + end-to-end test exercising the real
  session/process pipeline without needing a SAS install
- add docs/diagrams covering the session lifecycle and the SAS
  execution handshake mechanism, for future context

# Request execution flow (end-to-end)
Full path from an inbound HTTP request to the HTTP response, covering
session-pool acquisition and the two structurally different runtime
branches: SAS (reuses a parked long-lived process) vs JS/PY/R (spawns a
fresh interpreter process per request).

## Notes
- **Session pool is per-runtime.** SAS sessions and JS/PY/R sessions live in
separate controllers/pools (`process.sasSessionController` vs
`process.sessionController`, `Session.ts:239-253`) - a pending SAS session
is never handed out for a JS request or vice versa.
- **The SAS branch and the JS/PY/R branch converge** on the same
success/failure signal shape: `session.state` becomes `completed` or
`failed` either way, and both paths flow through the same log/webout
reading logic in `Execution.ts` afterward. The mechanics of *how* that
state gets set differ substantially (see `session-lifecycle.md`).
- **`includePrintOutput`** (SAS only) additionally appends `output.lst`
content to the result when debug mode is on - omitted above for brevity;
see `Execution.ts:135-142`.
- **`triggerProgram`/`triggerCode`** (fire-and-forget variants, not shown)
call the same `ExecutionController` methods without awaiting them and
immediately return `{ sessionId }`; the client polls
`GET /SASjsApi/session/{sessionId}/state` separately.
