Benoit Chesneau 77222b8017 feat: add dirty arbiters for long-running blocking operations
Introduce Dirty Arbiters - a separate process pool for executing
long-running, blocking operations (AI model loading, heavy computation)
without blocking HTTP workers. Inspired by Erlang's dirty schedulers.

Key features:
- Completely separate from HTTP workers - can be killed/restarted independently
- Stateful - loaded resources persist in dirty worker memory
- Message-passing IPC via Unix sockets with JSON serialization
- Explicit execute() API from HTTP workers
- Asyncio-based for clean concurrent handling

Architecture:
- DirtyArbiter: manages the dirty worker pool, routes requests
- DirtyWorker: executes functions, maintains state, handles requests
- DirtyClient: sync/async API for HTTP workers to call dirty apps
- DirtyProtocol: length-prefixed JSON messages over Unix sockets
- DirtyApp: base class for dirty applications

Configuration options:
- dirty_apps: list of import paths for dirty applications
- dirty_workers: number of dirty workers (default: 0)
- dirty_timeout: task timeout in seconds (default: 300)
- dirty_graceful_timeout: shutdown timeout (default: 30)

Lifecycle hooks:
- on_dirty_starting(arbiter)
- dirty_post_fork(arbiter, worker)
- dirty_worker_init(worker)
- dirty_worker_exit(arbiter, worker)

Includes comprehensive test suite with 164 tests covering:
- Protocol encoding/decoding
- Worker and arbiter lifecycle
- Client sync/async APIs
- Signal handling
- Error handling and timeouts
- Integration tests

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork
worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn_ project. The Gunicorn server is broadly
compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server
resource usage, and fairly speedy.

**New in v24**: Native ASGI support (beta) for async frameworks like FastAPI!

Quick Start
-----------

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install gunicorn
    gunicorn myapp:app --workers 4

For ASGI applications (FastAPI, Starlette):

.. code-block:: bash

    gunicorn myapp:app --worker-class asgi

Features
--------

- WSGI support for Django, Flask, Pyramid, and any WSGI framework
- **ASGI support** (beta) for FastAPI, Starlette, Quart
- uWSGI binary protocol for nginx integration
- Multiple worker types: sync, gthread, gevent, eventlet, asgi
- Graceful worker process management
- Compatible with Python 3.12+
