Print-mode teardown now force-kills other background task types at the wait ceiling, not just lingering shells.

Print-mode wind-down teardown previously force-killed only lingering background shells and mid-delivery observers after a grace period. It now also force-kills other running background task types, such as local_agent, at the wait ceiling when enabled.
