Return an error for tasks lost during worker replacement.

_restart_trans_process kills the old worker and replaces its KVTransProcess without draining or forwarding the old task_in_queue. A queued task can therefore be discarded without a PDChunckedTransTaskRet.

Timeout checks cover tasks already stored in waiting_dict, including started transfers. They do not cover tasks still queued in the replaced worker. Report an error for each lost task, or track tasks outside the worker so affected requests receive a terminal result.

line 166:
Update _restart_trans_process to preserve or report every task remaining in the
old worker’s task_in_queue before replacing its KVTransProcess, ensuring each
lost transfer receives a terminal PDChunckedTransTaskRet error result.
