feat(auto-annotation): add concurrent processing support

Enable parallel processing for auto-annotation tasks with configurable worker count and file-level parallelism.

Key features:
- Multi-worker support: WORKER_COUNT env var (default 1) controls number of worker threads
- Intra-task file parallelism: FILE_WORKERS env var (default 1) controls concurrent file processing within a single task
- Operator chain pooling: Pre-create N independent chain instances to avoid thread-safety issues
- Thread-safe progress tracking: Use threading.Lock to protect shared counters
- Stop signal handling: threading.Event for graceful cancellation during concurrent processing

Implementation details:
- Refactor _process_single_task() to use ThreadPoolExecutor + as_completed()
- Chain pool (queue.Queue): Each worker thread acquires/releases a chain instance
- Protected counters: processed_images, detected_total, file_results with Lock
- Stop check: Periodic check of _is_stop_requested() during concurrent processing
- Refactor start_auto_annotation_worker(): Move recovery logic here, start WORKER_COUNT threads
- Simplify _worker_loop(): Remove recovery call, keep only polling + processing

Backward compatibility:
- Default config (WORKER_COUNT=1, FILE_WORKERS=1) behaves identically to previous version
- No breaking changes to existing deployments

Testing:
- 11 unit tests all passed:
  * Multi-worker startup
  * Chain pool acquire/release
  * Concurrent file processing
  * Stop signal handling
  * Thread-safe counter updates
  * Backward compatibility (FILE_WORKERS=1)
- py_compile syntax check passed

Performance benefits:
- WORKER_COUNT=3: Process 3 tasks simultaneously
- FILE_WORKERS=4: Process 4 files in parallel within each task
- Combined: Up to 12x throughput improvement (3 workers × 4 files)

"""Simple background worker for auto-annotation tasks.
This module runs inside the datamate-runtime container (operator_runtime service).
It polls `t_dm_auto_annotation_tasks` for pending tasks and performs YOLO
inference using the ImageObjectDetectionBoundingBox operator, updating
progress back to the same table so that the datamate-python backend and
frontend can display real-time status.
It polls `t_dm_auto_annotation_tasks` for pending tasks and performs annotation
using configurable operator pipelines (YOLO, LLM text classification, NER,
relation extraction, etc.), updating progress back to the same table so that
the datamate-python backend and frontend can display real-time status.
设计目标(最小可用版本):
- 单实例 worker,串行处理 `pending` 状态的任务。
- 对指定数据集下的所有已完成文件逐张执行目标检测
- 按已处理图片数更新 `processed_images`、`progress`、`detected_objects`、`status` 等字段。
- 失败时将任务标记为 `failed` 并记录 `error_message`
注意:
设计:
- 多任务并发: 可通过 AUTO_ANNOTATION_WORKER_COUNT 启动多个 worker 线程,
各自独立轮询和认领 pending 任务(run_token 原子 claim 保证不重复)
- 任务内文件并发: 可通过 AUTO_ANNOTATION_FILE_WORKERS 配置线程池大小,
单任务内并行处理多个文件(LLM I/O 密集型场景尤其有效)
算子链通过对象池隔离,每个线程使用独立的链实例。
- 启动时自动恢复心跳超时的 running 任务:未处理文件重置为 pending,
已有部分进度的标记为 failed,由用户决定是否手动重试。
