`removeDataDir` tolerates a locked directory rather than failing the run, but
then abandons it, and nothing collects it on our behalf: Windows never clears
%TEMP% on process exit, and the Unix equivalents only run on a schedule. Every
teardown that lost that race leaked a database and user-data tree on developer
machines and long-lived runners, invisibly, while CI stayed green.

Sweeps leftover `iptvnator-electron-e2e-*` directories once per run, before the
first one is created. Ownership is settled by pid rather than age: each run
records its pid and the sweep asks the OS via `process.kill(pid, 0)`.

- A live owner is kept, so a concurrent suite is never collected — this repo is
  routinely checked out into several worktrees at once. Age cannot answer this:
  writes land under `databases/` and `user-data/`, which never refreshes the
  root's mtime, so a run paused in a debugger looks arbitrarily old.
- A dead owner is collected immediately.
- An undeterminable owner (missing, empty or malformed marker) falls back to a
  24h cutoff. The marker is published via rename so a half-written file cannot
  bypass that guard.
- A live-looking owner past a week is collected anyway, since the OS recycles
  pids and a stranger inheriting one would otherwise pin the directory forever.

Covered by a 10-test spec running on Linux, macOS and Windows, since
`process.kill(pid, 0)` semantics are platform-specific. Each behaviour was
verified to fail against the preceding implementation.
