Jon Kinney 3b4b3a51aa macos: re-enable CGEventTap on tap timeout
The kernel disables a session-level CGEventTap when its callback
runs longer than ~1 s on a single event — typical causes are heavy
load, scheduler contention, or the process being briefly suspended
(App Nap on a long idle, debugger pause). It is not a fatal
condition: Apple's documented recovery is to call CGEventTapEnable
and resume processing. Before this change the tap stayed dead until
the user manually clicked Re-enable from the menubar.

Stash the tap's mach port pointer in an Arc<OnceLock<usize>> set
immediately after CGEventTap::new returns, and on
TapDisabledByTimeout call CGEventTapEnable from the callback to
revive the tap while preserving capture state — the user doesn't
see the cursor pop back to the local screen mid-session for a
transient slow callback.

TapDisabledByUserInput keeps the existing teardown path: those
causes (TCC Accessibility revoked mid-session, secure-input mode,
explicit kill) are not safely recoverable from inside the
callback, and the existing fallthrough-fix from
59d9e45 / d1e963e still applies there.
