fix(mcp): get_anomaly shows a quick Steward restart, not only a gap over 90 s (#5862)

A redeploy's new process ticks at once, so its once-a-minute samples never
broke for 90 s and get_anomaly showed none of the day's restarts. The first
self-monitor tick in a process now records restart_gap_secs (time since the
last process's last sample), and steward_gaps shows each one as a restart.
