The pty teardown in Close runs on a background goroutine that doesn't
get to finish when lazygit is quitting: the process exits milliseconds
after the view buffer managers are closed. The job objects still cover
the clients -- KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE reaps them when the process's handles
are rundown at exit -- but nothing reaps the conhost, so on Windows
builds whose conhost fails to run down on its own, quitting leaks one
conhost per live pty.
This is not a rare timing window: a diff longer than what has been
read keeps its git process (and thus its pty and conhost) running for
the entire time it is displayed, so that scrolling can read more.
Quitting while looking at a long diff is therefore the common case,
and with an external differ configured it leaks a conhost on affected
builds on almost every quit.
Fix this by having the gui's shutdown path wait synchronously for the
in-flight teardowns after closing the view buffer managers. A quit
signal makes the teardowns skip the conhost rundown wait -- the
conhost serves nothing once its clients are dead, and the exit must
not stall for its sake -- so the wait normally completes in
milliseconds, keeping quit as fast as before; a 2-second cap protects
the exit path even if a teardown wedges.

Move the pty master behind a small interface (Read/Write/Close/Resize),
and push the actual startup into a platform-specific StartPty function
in pkg/commands/oscommands. The Unix implementation still uses
creack/pty; the Windows implementation is a stub that returns
ErrPtyUnsupported, at which point newPtyTask falls back to a plain cmd
task — matching the existing Windows behavior.
The primitive lives in oscommands rather than pkg/gui because the
cmd_obj_runner pty handler (also in oscommands) is going to consume it
too, and tasks → oscommands is the existing dependency direction.
Same observable behavior on every platform; this just carves out a seam
for a real ConPTY implementation on Windows.
