test(waiter): improve test coverage for libtmux.test.waiter module

WHAT: Increased test coverage from 84% to 88%, added tests for regex matching across lines, fallback behavior, type error handling, and fixed unreliable tests

WHY: Improved reliability, covered edge cases and error handling paths, validated fallback behavior, and fixed style issues for better maintainability
