Fixed `timer.unref()` being forgotten after 65,536 later timers (#10447).

**What broke.** #6084 bounded the id→ref-state registry at 65,536 entries. It evicted by insertion order and never checked whether an id was still scheduled. A live, long-delay `unref()`'d timer was evicted once 65,536 newer timers had been created. The lookup then read the missing id as ref'd, so the process stayed alive until that timer fired and ran a callback the program had detached. rate-limiter-flexible, which creates one timer per key, lingered 12–15 s after a 1M-operation run. The evicted id also dropped out of `is_known_timer_id`, so `.hasRef()`, `.ref()`, `.unref()`, `.constructor` and `+t` stopped resolving on the handle. The id→kind table (`Timeout`/`Immediate`) had the same cap. Once full, it scanned all 65,536 keys for the minimum on every `setTimeout`, so 200k `clearTimeout(setTimeout(f, 1000))` cost 126 billion instructions.

Describe unref() accurately.

Line 3 says that the program detached the callback. unref() does not detach or cancel a callback. It only permits process exit when no referenced work remains. State that eviction kept the process alive and therefore allowed the unref'd callback to run.

Proposed correction
- The lookup then read the missing id as ref'd, so the process stayed alive until that timer fired and ran a callback the program had detached.
+ The lookup then read the missing id as ref'd, so the process stayed alive until that timer fired and ran an unref'd callback.

In `@changelog.d/10538-timer-ref-state-eviction.md` at line 3, Update the
changelog sentence describing the evicted timer in the “What broke” section:
replace the claim that the program detached the callback with wording that
accurately states the callback remained unref’d and was allowed to run while the
process stayed alive.

**Fix.** `crates/perry-runtime/src/timer/ref_states.rs`:
- One registry now holds `has_ref`, `kind` and a `scheduled` flag per id.
- Scheduling returns a `ScheduledTimerId` token that lives in the queue entry itself (`CallbackTimer`, `IntervalTimer`, and the mock-timer entries). Dropping the entry retires the id. Every removal path drops the entry: firing, `clearTimeout`/`clearInterval`/`clearImmediate`, agent purge, and mock clear/reset.
- Only retired ids are eviction candidates, so the map holds at most live timers + 65,536 entries.
- Scheduling does one registry insert, and there is no per-insert scan.
- The whole-queue liveness scans (`ownership.rs`) take the registry lock once per scan instead of once per entry.
- The `timer.rs` filters test `allow_unref` before looking up `has_ref`.
- The registry reports a `timer.ref_states` row in `PERRY_GC_CENSUS`.
- The stale `TIMER_HANDLE_KINDS` entry is removed from `scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json`.

**Validation.**
- The gap test `test_gap_10447_timer_ref_state_eviction` matches Node byte for byte. On the baseline, every handle loses its methods and four unref'd callbacks fire.
- New unit tests in `ref_states.rs` cover: scheduled ids surviving churn, live timers beyond the cap, 1M set+clear cycles staying at 65,536 entries, and an end-to-end churn through the real queues.
- Gap suite: 814/820 pass; the 6 failures are the baseline's known ones.
- Instructions: 200k set+clear −99.3 %, 100k chained `setImmediate` −95.1 %. Below-cap schedule/fire/clear workloads are 4–8 % faster, and `asyncpipe` is flat (+0.1 %).
- Registry size is 65,536 entries after both 1M and 3M set+clear cycles.

Keep the mock callback registration alive during callback execution.

mock_timers_advance_to removes a one-shot MockCallbackTimer before calling call_timer_callback. Dropping _scheduled retires the ID. If the callback creates and clears at least TIMER_REF_STATES_CAP timers, registry eviction can remove its ID before dispatch completes. The callback's this value can then stop using timer dispatch, so this.hasRef() and the timer kind used by this.constructor are no longer preserved.

Keep _scheduled in the action until call_timer_callback returns. Include None for the interval branch so both action branches retain the same tuple shape.
