feat(FN-1040): add StepSessionExecutor for parallel step execution and integrate into executor

- Define StepSessionExecutor interfaces and utility types (FN-1039) - Implement StepSessionExecutor class with parallel wave execution, conflict detection, and retry logic (FN-1039) - Add comprehensive test suite for StepSessionExecutor (1225 lines) (FN-1039) - Wire step-session execution branch into TaskExecutor with pause, stuck-kill, and global pause handlers - Track active step executors per task for lifecycle management and cleanup - Export StepSessionExecutor and types from engine package index - Add executor integration tests for step session lifecycle (388 lines)
