fix: unblock MpReceiver.close() to prevent pytest hang on shutdown

MpReceiver.close() only set the closed flag and closed the buffer pipe,
but did not unblock a thread stuck on queue.get() in receive_async().
This caused abandoned threads (from abandon_on_cancel=True) to keep the
Python process alive indefinitely after all tests passed, leading to
6-hour CI timeouts on aarch64-darwin.

Send an _MpEndOfStream sentinel before closing the buffer, mirroring
what MpSender.close() already does, so the blocked get() returns and
the thread can exit cleanly.
