Actor-(and thus process)-global runtime state.
This struct is relayed from parent to child during sub-actor
spawning and is a singleton instance per process.
Generally contains,
- root-actor indicator.
- comms-info: addrs for both (public) process/service-discovery
and in-tree contact with other actors.
- transport-layer IPC protocol server(s) settings.
- debug-mode settings for enabling sync breakpointing and any
surrounding REPL-fixture hooking.
- infected-`asyncio` via guest-mode toggle(s)/cohfig.

Deliver a **copy** of the current `Actor`'s "runtime variables".
By default, for historical impl reasons, this delivers the `dict`
form, but the `RuntimeVars` struct should be utilized as possible
for future calls.
Pure read — **never mutates** the module-level `_runtime_vars`.
If `clear_values=True`, return a copy of the fresh-process
defaults (`_RUNTIME_VARS_DEFAULTS`) instead of the live
dict. Useful in combination with `set_runtime_vars()` to
reset process-global state back to "cold" — the main caller
today is the `main_thread_forkserver` spawn backend's post-fork
child prelude:
set_runtime_vars(get_runtime_vars(clear_values=True))
`os.fork()` inherits the parent's full memory image, so the
child sees the parent's populated `_runtime_vars` (e.g.
`_is_root=True`) which would trip the `assert not
self.enable_modules` gate in `Actor._from_parent()` on the
subsequent parent→child `SpawnSpec` handshake if left alone.

Accepts either the historical `dict` form or the `RuntimeVars`
`msgspec.Struct` form (the latter still mostly unused but
the blessed forward shape — see the struct's definition).
Paired with `get_runtime_vars()` as the explicit
write-half of the runtime-vars API — prefer this over
direct mutation of `_runtime_vars[...]` from new call sites.
