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.
