* fix: strdup args added after initialize_generic in def_property_static (gh-5976)
`def_property_static` calls `process_attributes::init` on already-initialized
function records (after `initialize_generic`'s strdup loop has run).
Args added at this stage (e.g. "self" via `append_self_arg_if_needed`) remain
as string literals, so `destruct()` would call `free()` on them.
Fix by strdup'ing name/descr of any args appended by the late
`process_attributes::init` call. Root cause introduced by gh-5486.

* Partially revert gh-6010: remove py_is_finalizing() workarounds
Now that the root cause (free of string literals in def_property_static,
gh-5976) is fixed in the previous commit, the py_is_finalizing() guards
introduced in gh-6010 are no longer needed:
- tp_dealloc_impl: remove early return during finalization (was leaking
all function records instead of properly destroying them)
- destruct(): remove guard around arg.value.dec_ref()
- common.h: remove py_is_finalizing() helper (no remaining callers)
The genuine fix from gh-6010 (PyObject_Free + Py_DECREF ordering in
tp_dealloc_impl) is retained.

* test: add embedding test for py::enum_ across interpreter restart (gh-5976)
py::enum_ is the primary trigger for gh-5976 because its constructor
creates properties via def_property_static / def_property_readonly_static,
which call process_attributes::init on already-initialized function records.
Yet none of the existing embedding tests used py::enum_ at all.
Add an PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE with py::enum_ and a test case that imports
it, finalize/reinitializes the interpreter, and re-imports it. This exercises
the def_property_static code path that was fixed in the preceding commit.
Note: on Python 3.14.2 (and likely 3.12+), tp_dealloc_impl is not called
during Py_FinalizeEx for function record PyObjects — they simply leak because
types are effectively immortalized. As a result, this test cannot trigger the
original free()-on-string-literal crash on this Python version. However, it
remains valuable as a regression guard: on Python builds where finalization
does clean up function records (or if CPython changes this behavior), the
test would catch the crash. It also verifies that py::enum_ survives
interpreter restart correctly, which was previously untested.

* Add test_standalone_enum_module.py, standalone_enum_module.cpp
* Make standalone_enum_module.cpp more similar to #5976 reproducer. Also fix clang-tidy error.

* test: use PYBIND11_CATCH2_SKIP_IF for Python 3.12 enum restart skip
Replace #if/#else/#endif preprocessor guard with runtime

* fix: suppress MSVC C4127 in PYBIND11_CATCH2_SKIP_IF macro
The constant condition in PYBIND11_CATCH2_SKIP_IF triggers MSVC
warning C4127 (conditional expression is constant), which becomes
a build error under /WX.
