tests: close coverage gaps on the HTTP path (review-4)

- Lift _TRIVIAL_REGISTRY (the _Tool dataclass + _echo + _failing
  test double) out of test_server.py and test_mcp_http_module.py
  into a shared tests/test_mcp/_trivial_registry.py module. The
  verbatim duplication was a drift hazard flagged in the slice-11
  review (one copy drifts away from the other and tests silently
  test different things).
- test_server.py now imports the shared registry.
- New subprocess test: test_subprocess_malformed_json_returns_400
  — mirrors the in-process test 5 path over a real socket.
- New subprocess test: test_subprocess_tool_body_exception_returns_is_error
  — mirrors the in-process test 9 path over a real socket. Uses
  add_entity with no 'name' (real registry's version of the
  'failing' tool) since the trivial registry isn't on the wire.
- Tighten _wait_ready regex: anchor on 'Uvicorn running on
  http://host:NNNNN' with 4-5 digit port (was matching any
  ':<digits>' substring — fragile if a future log line contains
  an unrelated port).
