Replace usleep with timerfd/kqueue event-driven wait

- Linux: Use timerfd + poll for 1ms timer and UART monitoring
- macOS: Use kqueue + kevent for timer and I/O events
- Reduces CPU usage from ~5-10% to 1.6% on macOS
- UART input now has zero latency (event-driven)
- Event-based architecture easier to extend

Tested on macOS with kqueue - 4-core boot succeeds, CPU at 1.6%
Tested on Linux with timerfd - 4-core boot succeeds, no warnings
