Subject: [PATCH] feat: edge case registry sim tests + GracefulLeave action

Cycle 2 tests:
- explicit_unregister_propagates_to_all_nodes
- re_registration_after_tombstone_succeeds
- all_names_tombstoned_when_owner_dies
- graceful_leave_tombstones_registry_names
- piggyback_contention_both_propagate

Also:
- Add GracefulLeave variant to SimAction enum
- Fix cluster_survives_brief_message_loss config (dead_reprobe + suspicion_timeout)
- Harden split_brain test config (suspicion_timeout=200 prevents cascading false deaths)

Authored by Claude, lovingly guided by Zachery Aaron Shores-Chmielewski
