refactor: fold is_party_alive into party_conn_state

One liveness primitive instead of two. The PID argument was a vestige
(format-checked, never probed, since the kill -0 removal); dropping it
means a roster with a garbage SERVER_PID can no longer mask a live
socket in host/moderation/role resolution.
