feat: Implement real async polling for ZyntaxPromise

- Add AsyncPollResult enum for proper async ABI with discriminated union
- Integrate with compiler's runtime module (Executor, Waker)
- Implement proper state machine creation and polling
- Add poll_with_limit() for timeout detection
- Add await_with_timeout() for bounded blocking
- Add poll_count() to track polling iterations
- Implement Rust Future trait with proper waker registration

The async ABI follows:
1. init_fn() -> *mut StateMachine (creates the state machine)
2. poll_fn(state_machine, waker) -> AsyncPollResult (advances execution)
