fix: resolve ASGI concurrent request failures through nginx proxy

- Fix nginx config to use keepalive with upstream (was sending
  Connection: close which caused premature connection closure)
- Add _safe_write() to handle socket errors (EPIPE, ECONNRESET,
  ENOTCONN) gracefully when client disconnects
- Fix ASGI scope server/client to always be 2-tuples for IPv6
  compatibility (IPv6 sockets return 4-tuples)
- Add write_eof() before close() to ensure buffered data is flushed
- Bind to [::] for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support in test containers
