Move akka context swap test to forked

[amarziali]

What Does This Do

This PR fixes the flakiness of akka/pekko context swap. tests. The main issue:

The akka/pekko mailbox was not shutting down properly. It was instantiated with one context mode and then when the configuration switched from one test to another there was:

11:43:21.891 [akka-actors-test-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-4] DEBUG datadog.trace.bootstrap.ExceptionLogger - Failed to handle exception in instrumentation for akka.dispatch.Mailbox - datadog.trace.instrumentation.akka.concurrent.AkkaMailboxInstrumentation$SuppressMailboxRunAdvice

The second run passed because was on a fresh JVM.

This PR ensures that the actor system cleans nicely on test completion. Also moves those tests to forked for extra safety

The PR adds @AutoCleanup to ensure actor system cleanup and moves flaky context-swap tests to a forked JVM, but introduces a critical bug in the Akka 2.3 termination logic: it unconditionally calls both shutdown() and awaitTermination(), but awaitTermination() does not exist in Akka 2.3.16, causing the tests to crash with NoSuchMethodException during cleanup.
