Add error checking for crowdsecDaemon.Process.Kill() in hubtest

[Copilot]

Problem

The crowdsecDaemon.Process.Kill() call in pkg/hubtest/hubtest_item.go was not checking for errors, which could lead to silent failures during test cleanup. This violates Go best practices for error handling and makes debugging difficult when process termination fails.

Solution

Added proper error checking for the Process.Kill() call following the existing error handling patterns in the file:

// Before
crowdsecDaemon.Process.Kill()

// After  
if err := crowdsecDaemon.Process.Kill(); err != nil {
    log.Errorf("unable to kill crowdsec daemon for test '%s': %s", t.Name, err)
}

Changes

• File: pkg/hubtest/hubtest_item.go
• Location: Line 429 in RunWithNucleiTemplate() method
• Impact: Errors during daemon process termination are now properly captured and logged

Benefits

• Improved Debugging: Failed process kills are now visible in logs with test context
• Consistent Error Handling: Follows the same log.Errorf() pattern used throughout the file
• Better Operational Visibility: Administrators can now identify when daemon cleanup fails
• No Breaking Changes: Function behavior remains unchanged (still returns nil for cleanup)

The change is minimal and surgical, affecting only the error handling for this specific cleanup operation while maintaining full backward compatibility.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

Add error checking for the call to crowdsecDaemon.Process.Kill() in pkg/hubtest/hubtest_item.go, ensuring that the error is captured and properly handled (at least logged or returned appropriately). The change should follow Go best practices for error handling and be consistent with how other errors are handled in this file.
