feat: add wait_for_triggers option to poll instead of suspend

Add a new execution option `wait_for_triggers` that allows the runtime
to poll triggers until completion instead of suspending and returning.
This keeps the process running and automatically resumes execution when
triggers complete.

Key behavior: When wait_for_triggers=True, triggers are created (to start
the work like invoking processes, creating tasks) but NOT persisted to
storage. The runtime polls inline and resumes without involving the
persistence layer.

Changes:
- Add `wait_for_triggers` and `trigger_poll_interval` options to UiPathExecuteOptions
- Create shared TriggerPoller utility for reusable polling logic
- Update UiPathResumableRuntime to loop and poll when wait_for_triggers=True
- Add skip_storage parameter to _handle_suspension() to avoid persistence
- Refactor UiPathDebugRuntime to use the shared TriggerPoller
