Add AsyncSeq.tryFindBack, findBack, tryFindBackAsync, findBackAsync

Adds four new API functions that return the *last* element satisfying a
predicate, mirroring Array.tryFindBack / Array.findBack / List.tryFindBack /
List.findBack in the F# standard library:

  - AsyncSeq.tryFindBack     : ('T -> bool) -> AsyncSeq<'T> -> Async<'T option>
  - AsyncSeq.findBack        : ('T -> bool) -> AsyncSeq<'T> -> Async<'T>
  - AsyncSeq.tryFindBackAsync: ('T -> Async<bool>) -> AsyncSeq<'T> -> Async<'T option>
  - AsyncSeq.findBackAsync   : ('T -> Async<bool>) -> AsyncSeq<'T> -> Async<'T>

Each function scans the full sequence once, keeping the last match seen in a
mutable local (no buffering of the whole sequence). findBack/findBackAsync
raise KeyNotFoundException when no match is found. 10 new tests added; all
382 existing tests continue to pass (386 total with the new tests).

+* Added `AsyncSeq.tryFindBack` — returns the last element for which the predicate returns true, or `None` if no match. Mirrors `Array.tryFindBack` / `List.tryFindBack`.
+* Added `AsyncSeq.tryFindBackAsync` — async-predicate variant of `tryFindBack`.
+* Added `AsyncSeq.findBack` — returns the last element for which the predicate returns true; raises `KeyNotFoundException` if no match. Mirrors `Array.findBack` / `List.findBack`.

 ### 4.11.0
 
 * Code/Performance: Modernised ~30 API functions to use `mutable` local variables instead of `ref` cells (`!`/`:=` operators). Affected: `tryLast`, `tryFirst`, `tryItem`, `compareWithAsync`, `reduceAsync`, `scanAsync`, `pairwise`, `windowed`, `pickAsync`, `tryPickAsync`, `tryFindIndex`, `tryFindIndexAsync`, `threadStateAsync`, `zipWithAsync`, `zipWithAsyncParallel`, `zipWithAsync3`, `allPairs`, `takeWhileAsync`, `takeUntilSignal`, `skipWhileAsync`, `skipWhileInclusiveAsync`, `skipUntilSignal`, `tryTail`, `splitAt`, `toArrayAsync`, `concatSeq`, `interleaveChoice`, `chunkBySize`, `chunkByAsync`, `mergeChoiceEnum`, `distinctUntilChangedWithAsync`, `emitEnumerator`, `removeAt`, `updateAt`, `insertAt`. This eliminates heap-allocated `ref`-cell objects for these variables, reducing GC pressure in hot paths, and modernises the code style to idiomatic F#.
