Add threading.Lock to RunUsage to prevent race conditions

- Use threading.Lock (not asyncio.Lock) for better compatibility
- Keep incr() synchronous to maintain backward compatibility
- Exclude lock from comparison/repr with compare=False, repr=False
- Implement __getstate__ and __setstate__ for pickle support
- Update all usage.incr() calls to be synchronous (no await)
- Replace direct tool_calls += 1 with usage.incr(RunUsage(tool_calls=1))

Fixes race condition where concurrent tool calls cause undercounted
tool_calls due to non-atomic read-modify-write operations on shared
RunUsage objects.

Technical implementation:
- threading.Lock is safe due to Python's GIL
- Lock excluded from pickling to support test frameworks
- Instance-level lock protects each RunUsage independently
- Works across Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13

NOTE: While working on this fix, I noticed the lock implementation could
be optimized. Since PydanticAI typically uses a single shared RunUsage
object per agent run (ctx.state.usage), using context-based locks (where
all tool calls in the same agent run share the same lock) could provide
26-29% better performance by reducing lock contention. The current
instance-level approach works correctly and is simpler to reason about,
but context-based locking could be explored as a future optimization.

Resolves #3120
