feat: remove async_hooks polyfill, use native workerd implementation

[devin-ai-integration]

Fixes #10239

This PR removes the async_hooks polyfill from the unenv-preset package and switches to using the native workerd implementation. The change is based on the fact that workerd now provides native support for async_hooks APIs, making the polyfill unnecessary.

Changes Made

• Moved async_hooks from hybridModules to nativeModules in packages/unenv-preset/src/preset.ts
• Removed the polyfill implementation by deleting packages/unenv-preset/src/runtime/node/async_hooks.ts
• Added comprehensive tests for async_hooks functionality in the e2e test suite
• Updated module compatibility tests to include async_hooks in the native modules list

Key Findings

The native workerd implementation provides:

• ✅ Full functionality for AsyncLocalStorage (the most commonly used API)
• ✅ Working constructor for AsyncResource
• ✅ Stub implementations for other APIs like createHook, executionAsyncId, etc. for backward compatibility
• ❌ Limited AsyncResource methods - asyncId() and triggerAsyncId() are not implemented

Testing

Added two comprehensive test functions:

• testAsyncHooks() - Tests AsyncLocalStorage, AsyncResource constructor, and stub APIs
• testAsyncHooksRequire() - Tests CommonJS require pattern compatibility

All e2e tests pass (180 tests) confirming that the native implementation works correctly.

Review Focus Areas

⚠️ Critical for review:

1. Compatibility impact - Verify that removing the polyfill won't break existing users
2. AsyncResource limitations - Confirm that the missing asyncId()/triggerAsyncId() methods won't cause issues
3. Version bump appropriateness - Major bump chosen for unenv-preset due to polyfill removal

• Tests
  • Tests included
• Public documentation
  • Documentation not necessary because: Internal implementation change with no user-facing API changes
• Wrangler V3 Backport
  • Not necessary because: This is a feature change that enables native workerd functionality, not a bug fix

Does workerd implement the full async_hooks package? The documentation states:

Workers does not implement the full async_hooks ↗ API upon which Node.js' implementation of AsyncLocalStorage is built.

[petebacondarwin]

It implements all the methods that we were polyfilling.
