Run Netty NIO event loops as long-running virtual threads instead of platform threads. Uses ManualIoEventLoop from Netty 4.2 to manually drive IO polling and task execution from virtual threads, allowing the JVM's ForkJoinPool scheduler to multiplex event loops alongside other virtual threads. Adds VirtualThreadNioTransport (SPI), Transport.VIRTUAL_THREAD_NIO (public API), VertxTestBase support, and a VirtualThreadNio Maven profile to run the full test suite with this transport.

@vietj This could be implemented via the SPI in Quarkus straight on too TBH
@cescoffier I still see the value of having the lower level impls in Vertx if Vertx users can benefit of this
If not, I can send a PR to our Vertx 5 Quarkus branch or @jponge could port this too in the quarkus way.
