Add polyfill for AbortSignal.any() for Node.js <= 20.3.0 (#1322)

This PR adds a polyfill for `AbortSignal.any()` to support Node.js versions older than 20.3.0, where this method was introduced. The implementation enables the use of `AbortSignal.any()` for combining multiple abort signals in the async client functionality.

### Key Changes
- Added a polyfill implementation for `AbortSignal.any()` in `lib/client.js`
- Updated test to skip zero-timeout tests on Node.js versions < 18.20 where `AbortSignal.timeout(0)` throws errors
- Modified CI workflow to test on Node.js 16.X for ARM64 builds to verify backward compatibility

Fix: #1321
