Motivation: The current PCAP recording functionality uses SynchronizedFileSink, which blocks the event loop, this patch attempts an introduction of AsynchronizedFileSink,which uses Swift's concurrency model to perform non-blocking file writes. This patch attempts to address swift-server/async-http-client#239. This change also ensures that debugging via PCAP recording remains accessible while preventing the event loop from stalling. Modifications: - Implemented AsynchronizedFileSink thread-safe, non-blocking writes. - Provided unit tests to verify correct behavior. Result: - Users can enable non-blocking PCAP recording using AsynchronizedFileSink, improving debugging without risking connection pool performance. - Test coverage ensures the new implementation works as expected.

I think a better version of this uses _NIOFileSystem to provide the async file I/O APIs. That will also avoid the unsafe code. @glbrntt how do we feel about taking that dependency here?

Oh I didn't consider this, mostly took inspiration from the implementation of SynchronizedFileSink, though I don't think using the filesystem instead would be too tough. Let me know!

I'm a little hesitant to do it before we've made the FilePath changes as that may well have unavoidable API breaks.
