Subject: [PATCH] fix: Use try-then-fallback approach for musl/Alpine
 compatibility

Changed from hardcoded musl detection to graceful fallback:
- Try /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/children first (fast path)
- If it fails for ANY reason, fall back to /proc scanning
- Works on all systems: glibc, musl, old kernels, Alpine, etc.

Why this is better:
- No assumptions about musl behavior
- Automatically handles kernel differences
- /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/children works on Alpine if available
- Falls back gracefully if not
- Simpler code without platform-specific branches

This should fix the musl test failures by letting the system tell us
what works rather than guessing based on libc implementation.
