fix(tests): eliminate tarpit OOM from global asyncio.sleep mock

Two interacting bugs caused asyncio.sleep to be mocked globally,
letting tarpit_watcher_worker spin the event loop on a non-async
mock and accumulate _increment_mock_call records without bound:

1. test_ingester.py patched `decnet.web.ingester.asyncio.sleep` via
   the asyncio singleton — any code in the process using asyncio.sleep
   (including the tarpit worker) hit the fake_sleep side_effect.
   Fix: add `_sleep = asyncio.sleep` alias in ingester.py and patch
   `decnet.web.ingester._sleep` instead — scopes the mock to ingester.

2. test_api_startup_guards.py called `_run_lifespan_startup` without
   DECNET_CONTRACT_TEST=true, which started the real tarpit task in a
   manually-constructed event loop that the tests never cancelled.
   Fix: set DECNET_CONTRACT_TEST=true inside _run_lifespan_startup so
   the lifespan skips all background workers.
