fix(langgraph): wire node stream on_next handlers to registered executors

Replace the no-op on_next handlers in _setup_node_stream_subscriptions
with factory-created callbacks that look up and invoke the per-node
sync_executor registered by _register_node_executor.  The previous code
silently discarded every message delivered to node streams.

Key changes:

- Wire on_next to executor via _make_on_next_handler factory method
- Store executors in _node_executors dict (not setattr on stream_router)
- Shared ThreadPoolExecutor with proper lifecycle (start/stop/restart)
- Prefer run_coroutine_threadsafe when scheduler loop is running;
  fall back to thread pool with deadlock prevention
- Thread-safe StateManager: Lock on all mutation methods, deep-copy
  emission inside lock for immutable subscriber snapshots
- replace_state() and reset() deep-copy input to prevent external
  mutation bypassing the lock (review cycle 5 M1 fix)
- Best-effort cancellation documented on timed-out futures (cycle 5 M2)
- CancelledError catch in thread pool path with "graph stopping" message
- is_running guard on both sync_executor and execute() entry point
- Checkpoint filenames include update_count to prevent collisions
- _save_checkpoint docstring warns against calling while _lock is held
- on_next handler distinguishes TimeoutError (warning) from other
  exceptions (exception log) for clearer diagnostics
- TODO comment for deferred downstream propagation to successor nodes
- __del__ safety net for executor pool cleanup
- File I/O outside lock for checkpoint save/load
- Bounded execution_history via collections.deque(maxlen=1000)
