feat: OneForAll and RestForOne supervisor strategies (Cycle 18)

Add coordinated restart strategies to the Supervisor actor. OneForAll
restarts all children when one fails; RestForOne restarts the failed
child and all children after it in spec order. Uses a SupervisorPhase
state machine to coordinate stop signals and Down confirmations.

   - `supervisor_on_stop_kills_children` — supervisor shutdown cascades to children
 - **Result**: 138 tests pass (130 behavioral + 7 proptest + 1 doctest), zero warnings, full workspace compiles
 
+### Cycle 18: OneForAll + RestForOne Supervisor Strategies
+- **Research**: Investigated SmallBox/InlineAny optimization (44% queue throughput improvement)
+  but deferred due to unsafe code risk and 32+ call-site changes violating structural constraints.
+  Chose to extend Supervisor with remaining Erlang-style strategies instead.
+- **Implementation**: Extended `Supervisor` in `src/actor.rs` with coordinated restart strategies:
+  - `SupervisorStrategy::OneForAll` — all children restarted when one fails
+  - `SupervisorStrategy::RestForOne` — failed child + all children after it (in spec order) restarted
+  - `SupervisorPhase` state machine: `Normal` (steady state) | `Stopping { awaiting, restart_set }` (coordinated)
+  - During coordinated restart: supervisor stops living siblings, waits for all Down confirmations,
+    then restarts the full restart set in spec order
+  - `begin_coordinated_restart(ctx, indices)` — sends stop signals, transitions to Stopping phase
+  - `finish_restart(ctx)` — called when all awaiting Downs received, restarts from spec order
+  - `check_intensity()` factored out for restart budget checking
+  - Already-dead children are handled: if all targets are already dead, immediate restart (no Stopping phase)
+- **Tests**: 3 new behavioral tests
+  - `supervisor_one_for_all_restarts_all_on_single_failure` — one child panics, all 3 get new addresses
+  - `supervisor_rest_for_one_restarts_rest_after_failed` — child_b panics, child_a unchanged, child_c restarted
+  - `supervisor_one_for_all_waits_for_all_downs_before_restart` — verifies coordinated shutdown completes before restart
+- **Result**: 141 tests pass (133 behavioral + 7 proptest + 1 doctest), zero warnings, full workspace compiles
+
 ### Cycle 16: Benchmark New Features
 - **Scope**: Added benchmark group for features from Cycles 12-15 (named actors, groups, monitors, ask)
 - **New benchmarks** (5 total in `registry` group):

 Meltdown: supervisor stops itself when total restarts exceed `max_restarts`.
