perf: add io_uring async write path with three-layer fallback

Replace synchronous pwrite with io_uring async writes on Linux 5.6+.
The key speedup: offset is published immediately after io_uring submit
(ns-level) instead of after I/O completion (μs-ms), drastically reducing
the spin-wait time for subsequent workers.

Three-layer detection:
  1. Compile-time: #ifdef __linux__ guards all io_uring code
  2. Runtime: io_uring_setup(256) probe — falls back to sync pwrite
     if kernel is too old, seccomp blocks it, or resources unavailable
  3. Per-write: submitWrite failure falls back to sync pwrite

New file: src/io_uring_raw.h — minimal raw syscall wrapper (~170 lines),
zero external dependencies (no liburing needed).
