ef87f7e1b9 feat: per-actor message budget for tick fairness
Research across ractor, tokio, Erlang/OTP BEAM, Linux CFS, and libuv
revealed that tick_all drained the entire mailbox per actor per tick,
allowing one hot actor to starve all others on the same worker.

- Add `actor_message_budget` to RuntimeConfig (default: 64 msgs/actor/tick)
- Modify tick_all to break after budget messages, yielding to next actor
- budget=0 restores unlimited (backward compatible) behavior
- 3 new fairness tests validating hot-cold actor scenarios
- New fairness benchmark group (cold_latency_under_pressure, throughput_by_budget)
- Fix RuntimeConfig struct literals across workspace crates

Inspired by BEAM's 4000-reduction budget and tokio's 128-op cooperative budget.
All 45 tests pass (42 original + 3 new).
