fix: 020-twilio-media-streams-node — close Twilio WS on stop, fix async race condition

Three fixes for the test timeout regression:

1. Close twilioWs on 'stop' event so the test WebSocket close handler fires
   (root cause of the 30s timeout — server never closed the Twilio WS)
2. Make WS handler synchronous and queue media until Deepgram is ready
   (express-ws doesn't await async handlers, causing dropped messages)
3. Remove unused twilio import
4. Expand test audio to 10s and broaden expected transcript keywords
