ISSUE-007: Disable tracing on first callback error (fail fast)

- Update `callback_py_start` to soft-stop tracing when `on_py_start` returns an error.
- Perform teardown under the GLOBAL lock to avoid deadlock:
  - call `finish()`, unregister all callbacks from the original mask,
  - set events to `NO_EVENTS`, clear the code object registry,
  - set `global.mask = NO_EVENTS` to prevent duplicate work on uninstall.
- Preserve error propagation to Python; subsequent events are not emitted.
- Keeps `ACTIVE` unchanged; `stop_tracing()` remains safe and idempotent after error.

This resolves repeated callback errors observed after a failure in `on_py_start`.

 ### Status
-Not started
+Done
+
+Implemented soft-stop on first callback error in `callback_py_start`:
+on error, the tracer finishes writers, unregisters callbacks for the
+configured mask, sets events to `NO_EVENTS`, clears the registry, and
+records `global.mask = NO_EVENTS`. The original error is propagated to
+Python, and subsequent `PY_START` events are not delivered. This keeps the
+module-level `ACTIVE` flag unchanged until `stop_tracing()`, making the
+shutdown idempotent. The test `tests/test_fail_fast_on_py_start.py`
+exercises the behavior by re-running the program after the initial failure.
