The watchdog only log.Fatal'd with a message, so a hung test told us
that it timed out but not where it was stuck -- useless for diagnosing
an intermittent deadlock under the race detector. Dump all goroutine
stacks to stderr first (the harness surfaces this process's stderr on
failure), turning a bare timeout into an actionable stack trace.

The integration test watchdog fails a test if its recording takes longer
than 40 seconds. Under the race detector everything runs several times
slower, so legitimately slow tests (e.g. a conflicting interactive
rebase) blow that budget and fail even though nothing is actually stuck.
Key the timeout off a build-tag constant: the `race` tag is set
automatically when the binary is built with -race, so a race build gets
a 5x-longer budget while a normal build is unchanged, and the two can't
drift apart the way a runtime flag would. The base 40s stays in one
place; only the multiplier varies by build.

The test harness enqueued ErrQuit after a test finished, waited for the
program to go idle, then slept a fixed second and declared "gocui should
have already exited" if it hadn't. That fixed grace is fragile: under the
race detector the shutdown legitimately takes longer than a second, so
nearly every test failed with that message even though nothing was wrong.
Wait for the main loop to actually return instead. gocui now closes a
loopExited channel when MainLoop exits, and the harness blocks on it; the
existing 40s watchdog still fails a test whose loop genuinely never quits.

Running the integration tests in a loop under the race detector
eventually hung in demo/bisect. The goroutine dump shows the cycle: a
background worker's task.Done() held the task manager's mutex while
blocking on the unbuffered idle-listener channel send, and the test
runner goroutine — the only reader of that channel — was itself blocked
in NewTask on that same mutex, on its way to enqueueing a caption
render (SetCaption -> Render -> OnUIThread). Neither side could
proceed: the notification couldn't be delivered until the test
goroutine got the mutex, and the mutex couldn't be released until the
notification was delivered.
The root problem is that the busy-to-idle notification is a blocking
rendezvous performed while holding the mutex, so it needs the waiter's
cooperation at a moment where the waiter may legitimately need the
mutex first.
Make the notification fire-and-forget instead: WaitUntilIdle waits on a
condition variable and re-checks "is any task busy?" under the mutex,
and the busy-to-idle transition broadcasts, which never blocks. Waiting
is now level-triggered rather than edge-triggered, which is also more
robust: a wait can no longer be satisfied by a stale idle transition
produced by an unrelated background task, because the predicate is
evaluated against the current state. This relies on the previous commit
having made replayed input events carry their task from submission;
without that, the wait could return in the window where an event is in
flight but not yet picked up by the main loop.

I copied all files except dot files (.github and .gitignore), the _examples
folder, and go.mod/go.sum.
At some point we may want to copy the files back to the gocui repo when other
clients (e.g. lazydocker) want to use the newer versions of them.
It is a bit generic, it seems that users sometimes set it for other reasons, and
then they are confused why they don't see anything. Use a more specific name
instead.
