fix(physx): handle collection deletion events safely

[Xalzeroph]

Description

This fixes the rigid object collection deletion callback for PhysX deletion events.

PhysX delivers a deletion event whose path is stored in event.payload["prim_path"], but the collection override treated the event object itself as a string. Matching a member deletion could therefore fail before cleanup, leaving the collection initialized and retaining its root view.

The callback now:

• normalizes event and dictionary payloads before path matching;
• routes matching member/root deletions through the normal invalidation lifecycle;
• always clears callbacks, including when invalidation raises.

Fixes #7799

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature
• Breaking change
• Documentation update

Tests

• Added regression tests for event/dict payloads, matching and non-matching paths, and callback cleanup failures.
• git diff --check
• python -m py_compile on the modified implementation and test files.
• Full IsaacLab/PhysX tests (not available in this environment because pytest and the Isaac Sim runtime are not installed).

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the callback now follows the actual PhysX event contract and performs lifecycle cleanup in the required order.

Summary

This PR corrects PhysX rigid-object collection deletion handling by extracting the deleted prim path from event payloads and routing matching deletions through the normal invalidation lifecycle.

• Accepts both event-wrapper and raw-dictionary payload forms used by the callback infrastructure.
• Invalidates collection state and its root PhysX view for root, member, and ancestor deletions.
• Guarantees callback cleanup even if invalidation raises.
• Adds focused regression coverage for matching, non-matching, root, and exceptional cleanup paths.

The deletion callback fix correctly normalizes PhysX event payloads, invalidates matching collections through the established lifecycle, and guarantees callback cleanup. Before merge, it should preserve the previously accepted string-path input and satisfy repository metadata requirements for the new test file and user-visible package change.

• Design and architecture: Routing matching member and root deletions through _invalidate_initialize_callback is coherent and ensures the root view is invalidated. However, the override previously declared and handled a plain path string; the new normalization supports event and dictionary forms but silently ignores that existing form. Supporting all three forms would retain compatibility while fixing PhysX event handling.
• API: Although _on_prim_deletion is private, its changed annotation and behavior remove the prior string-path contract without the bug fix requiring that removal. Normalize strings directly as paths in addition to extracting prim_path from event and dictionary payloads.
• Implementation: The prefix matching and try/finally cleanup are internally consistent, and the regression tests cover matching, nonmatching, root, and cleanup-failure paths. Add string-input coverage, apply the repository SPDX header template to the new test module, and add the required changelog fragment for the user-visible isaaclab_physx fix.
