Cian Johnston a164d508cf fix(coderd/x/chatd): gate control subscriber to ignore stale pubsub notifications (#23865)
Fixes flaky `TestOpenAIReasoningWithWebSearchRoundTripStoreFalse` and
`TestOpenAIReasoningWithWebSearchRoundTrip`.

## Changes

- Gate the `processChat` control subscriber's cancel callback behind a
`chan struct{}` that is closed after publishing `"running"` status
- Add `TestGatedControlCancel` with 4 subtests exercising the gate logic

<summary>Root cause analysis</summary>

`SendMessage` publishes a `"pending"` notification on
`chat:stream:<chatID>` via PostgreSQL `NOTIFY`. `processChat` subscribes
to the same channel for control signals. Due to async NOTIFY delivery,
the `"pending"` notification can arrive at the control subscriber
**after** it registers its queue — even though it was published
**before**. `shouldCancelChatFromControlNotification("pending")` returns
`true`, immediately self-interrupting the processor before it does any
work.

The fix gates the cancel callback behind a closed channel. The channel
is closed after `processChat` publishes `"running"` status, so stale
notifications from before initialization are harmlessly ignored.
`close()` provides a happens-before guarantee in the Go memory model.
