feat(coding-agent): added auto-backgrounding for long bash jobs to avoid blocking

- Added bash.autoBackground.enabled and bash.autoBackground.thresholdMs settings with defaults for background job behavior.
- Added auto-backgrounding support for long foreground bash commands with managed job state and timeout threshold.
- Updated bash prompts, job-protocol messages, and tool activation checks to use async and auto-background support.
- Added background bash completion integration with AsyncJobManager and end-to-end tests for short/long auto-background scenarios.
