Add backpressure to durability="async" checkpoint writes to prevent unbounded memory growth.
With durability="async" (the default), each superstep submits a checkpoint write as a background task. When checkpoint writes have latency (any real DB), tasks accumulate faster than they complete - each holding a full copy_checkpoint() in its coroutine frame. Memory grows proportionally with superstep count.
This fix ensures that if the previous checkpoint write hasn't completed by the time a new superstep finishes, the loop waits before proceeding. This bounds pending checkpoint writes to at most 1, while preserving the async overlap benefit when writes are fast.
Behavior per durability mode:
Potentially closes #7094
