fix: Python 3.14 compat — use inspect.iscoroutinefunction in ThreadsafeProxy

[aautem]

Summary

• Replace asyncio.iscoroutinefunction() with inspect.iscoroutinefunction() in ThreadsafeProxy — the asyncio version was removed in Python 3.14
• Raise ConnectionError instead of silently returning None when the proxy's event loop is closed
• Add a defensive null guard in _startup_reset() for when the gateway is None

Root Cause

ThreadsafeProxy.__getattr__ uses asyncio.iscoroutinefunction() to detect async methods and dispatch them cross-thread via run_coroutine_threadsafe. In Python 3.14, asyncio.iscoroutinefunction() was removed. When the check fails, async methods like Gateway.wait_for_startup_reset() fall through to the sync code path, which returns None. The caller then does await None, producing:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object can't be awaited

A secondary issue: when the proxy's event loop is closed (e.g. connection lost during startup), the proxy also silently returned None instead of raising an error.

Changes

File	Change
bellows/thread.py	asyncio.iscoroutinefunction → inspect.iscoroutinefunction; raise ConnectionError on closed loop
bellows/ezsp/__init__.py	Null guard in _startup_reset()
tests/test_thread.py	Update closed-loop test to expect ConnectionError
tests/test_ezsp.py	Add tests for null gateway in _startup_reset() and disconnect()

Context

Reproducible on Home Assistant 2026.4.0 with bellows 0.49.0 / Python 3.14. The integration enters a failed state and retries indefinitely, never recovering.

Test plan

• All 426 tests pass
• test_proxy_loop_closed — verifies ConnectionError is raised on closed loop
• test_startup_reset_gw_none — verifies EzspError on null gateway
• test_disconnect_gw_none — verifies disconnect() handles null gateway
