fix(wasm): bound blocking sleep by execution timeout (#2460)

### Motivation
- Non-JS wasm builds used a synchronous spin for `sleep` that could
block the interpreter poll and let attacker-controlled `sleep` calls
bypass the configured `ExecutionLimits::timeout`, enabling bounded CPU
DoS in the no-JS/no-WASI embedding.

### Description
- Cap the non-JS wasm `sleep` at the active execution deadline by
reading `ExecutionDeadline` from execution extensions and passing a
budget-bounded duration to `time_compat::sleep` in
`crates/bashkit/src/builtins/sleep.rs`.
- Make the non-JS `time_compat::timeout` path check the wall-clock
deadline after every interpreter poll (including a poll that returns
`Ready`) so an expired deadline takes precedence over a late Ready
result in `crates/bashkit/src/time_compat/mod.rs`.
- Add a small unit helper and test `effective_sleep_duration` covering
boundary behavior for the cap, and update existing `sleep` unit tests to
cover the change.`
- Update documentation and threat-model artifacts to record the
mitigation (changed wording in `knowledge/runtimes/non-js-wasm.md`,
`knowledge/security/threat-model.md`, and
`crates/bashkit/docs/threat-model.md`).

### Testing
- Ran `cargo fmt --all --check` and `cargo clippy -p bashkit --lib -- -D
warnings`, both succeeded.
- Ran unit tests for the sleep builtin with `cargo test -p bashkit
builtins::sleep::tests --lib`, all tests passed (6 passed).
- Ran the integration test that reproduces the timeout bypass with
`cargo test -p bashkit --test integration direct_sleep_respects_timeout
-- --nocapture`, which passed (1 passed).
- Built the non-JS component path with `RUSTFLAGS='--cfg
getrandom_backend="custom" -D warnings' cargo check --manifest-path
examples/hyperlight/Cargo.toml --target wasm32-unknown-unknown`, which
completed successfully under the configured flags.
- Ran repository checks `just check-okf` and `just check-doc-links`,
both succeeded.

 Without JS there is no `setTimeout`, and in a micro-VM there is no other thread
 to make progress. `sleep` therefore blocks, spinning on the host clock, and
 `timeout` polls the future and compares against a deadline. Blocking is the
 correct choice here, not a compromise: these embedders drive execution with a
 single poll (`now_or_never`), so a pending timer future could never be woken.
 A guest that burns VM cycles during `sleep 1` is the price of having no timer
