Tests for external inspection were failing intermittently on ppc64le and
s390x platforms due to UnicodeDecodeError and RuntimeError when reading
from live processes. The _check_exception_status method had no exception
handling at all, and _get_frames_with_retry was missing UnicodeDecodeError
from its suppressed exceptions.
Added TRANSIENT_ERRORS tuple to consolidate the exceptions that can occur
when reading process memory, and RETRY_DELAY constant to unify sleep
intervals. Both affected methods now properly catch all transient errors
and retry, matching the pattern used elsewhere in the test file.
