feat(ffe): Add resilience tests for FFE with RC and agent failures

Add comprehensive resilience tests for Feature Flag Evaluation (FFE) to verify
behavior when Remote Configuration (RC) and agent services become unavailable:

1. **RC Resilience Test**: Uses network delays (5-second timeout) to simulate
   RC service being down/unreachable and verifies FFE continues working with
   cached configurations.

2. **Agent Resilience Test**: Stops the agent container to simulate true agent
   downtime while preserving library cache, then verifies FFE works with
   local cached configurations.

3. **Recovery Test**: Tests complete RC recovery cycle with service restoration
   and new configuration updates.

Key improvements:
- Uses container stop/start for realistic agent failure simulation
- Preserves library cache during agent downtime (vs container restart)
- Network delays for RC timeout scenarios vs empty config simulation
- Comprehensive error handling and cleanup procedures
- Proper type annotations and linting compliance

Tests cover production failure scenarios including service crashes,
network issues, and recovery cycles.
