Add unit coverage for both process-replacement wrappers.

The current tests cover output and help behavior, not the new process and signal contract.

  • python/libcuopt/libcuopt/_cli_wrapper.py#L12-L17: add pytest coverage for cli_path and complete sys.argv forwarding.
  • python/libcuopt/libcuopt/_grpc_server_wrapper.py#L12-L21: add equivalent coverage for server_path and the gRPC entry point.

As per coding guidelines, contributions implementing features or bug fixes must include unit tests.

[error] 17-17: Starting a process without a shell

(S606)

[warning] 17-17: Consider [cli_path, *sys.argv[1:]] instead of concatenation

Replace with [cli_path, *sys.argv[1:]]

and forwarding to the gRPC entry point. Ensure tests cover the
process-replacement and argument-passing contract without changing the wrappers.
