Add the minimal OoB cancel edge case from #391

Discovered while writing a `@context` sanity test to verify unmasker
ignore-cases support. Masked code is due to the process of finding the
minimal example causing the original hang discovered in the original
examples script. Details are in the test-fn doc strings and surrounding
comments; more refinement and cleanup coming obviously.

Also moved over the self-cancel todos from the inter-peer tests module.

Define the details of inter-actor "out-of-band" (OoB) cancel
semantics, that is how cancellation works when a cancel request comes
from the different concurrency (primitive's) "layer" then where the
eventual `trio.Task` actually raises a signal.
