fix(background-agent): track and cancel completion timers to prevent memory leaks (#1058)

Track setTimeout timers in notifyParentSession using a completionTimers Map.
Clear all timers on shutdown() and when tasks are deleted via session.deleted.
This prevents the BackgroundManager instance from being held in memory by
uncancelled timer callbacks.

Fixes #1043
