* fix(terminal): answer a background pane's startup queries while its paired view is paused
A paired desktop pauses the output of a terminal it is not showing. The host
drops that output, but it still counted the paused view as the one answering
terminal queries, so main's query responder stayed silent too. A fish started
in such a pane (for example by `orca terminal create`) sent DA1, got no
answer, and stalled 10 s before warning.
A multiplex stream now registers with its pause state, and main answers the
queries of output a paused view drops, exactly as it does for output the
hidden-pane gate drops. A view that receives the output still answers it, so
each query is answered once.
Fixes #32944

* fix(terminal): answer queries in output a pausing remote view discards unsent
A chunk ingested while the view was still receiving yields its queries to
that view. If the view then pauses, the host drops the chunk from the
output batcher, or clears it from the ack backlog, before the view ever
parses it. Nothing answered those queries.
The pause now carves the query bytes out of what it discards, with the
same extraction the hidden-pane gate uses, and hands them to main's
existing responder. The responder answers only while no other view is
receiving that terminal's output.

* revert: answer queries in output a pausing remote view discards unsent
This reverts commit 3fc500fe09. Answering those queries later through
main's emulator injects bytes into its live parser. That can cancel a
partial escape sequence, it answers cursor and mode queries against
state that has since moved on, and it can answer twice when two views
pause one after the other. An exact fix has to capture the replies when
the bytes are first parsed and track delivery per view, so it is left as
a follow-up.
Also renames a test helper to say what it reads.
