Set closest_event_idx in IDAKLUSolver after IDA_ROOT_RETURN

 ## Bug fixes
 
+- `IDAKLUSolver` now records `Solution.closest_event_idx` after a SUNDIALS root return, so `BaseSolver.get_termination_reason` can short-circuit instead of re-walking every TERMINATION event's symbolic expression on the Python side. On a 1000-cycle SPM with `output_variables` set, cumulative allocations dropped 25% (~445 MB) and wall time 16%; the eliminated path was hot in long event-terminated cycling experiments. ([#5502](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/5502))
 - Fixed `Serialise.serialise_experiment` / `deserialise_experiment` dropping every constructor argument other than per-step `value` / `duration` / `terminations` / `temperature`. The top-level `period`, `temperature`, and `termination` arguments to `pybamm.Experiment` and the per-step `period`, `tags`, `description`, `start_time`, `direction`, and `skip_ok` arguments to `BaseStep` are now written by `to_config()` and parsed back by `from_config()`, so JSON round-tripped experiments preserve user intent. The `Resistance` step type was also missing from the deserialiser's step-type map and now round-trips correctly.
 - Fixed `Serialise.load_custom_model` reconstructing `Event.event_type` as the bare enum name string (e.g. `"TERMINATION"`) instead of the corresponding `EventType` member. The custom JSON encoder writes Enum values as their `.name`, but the loader was passing the string straight through to `pybamm.Event.__init__`, so models round-tripped through `to_json` / `from_json` carried string event types rather than `EventType` enum values. ([#5498](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/5498))
 - Fixed `Serialise.serialise_solver` silently dropping `root_method` (and any other nested `BaseSolver` `__init__` argument). After construction, `root_method` is a `BaseSolver` instance rather than the original string, so it failed `json.dumps` and was omitted from the config — making the deserialised solver fall back to the default. `to_config()` / `from_config()` now recurse into nested solver values, preserving `root_method` and its tolerances across the round-trip. ([#5497](https://github.com/pybamm-team/PyBaMM/pull/5497))
