feat(php-rpc): attach worker process state to request I/O errors

A dead worker and a live one hitting a framing bug both surface as a
raw socket I/O error (e.g. "Broken pipe"), which doesn't say whether
the child crashed, was signaled, or is still running. Query the
child's exit status via try_wait() and attach it as anyhow::Context
so the panic message shows the root cause directly.
