this patch fixes several critical issues in the task scheduler:
1. vm integration for computed goto dispatch mode:
- added task switching check in NEXT macro for computed goto
- previous implementation only worked with switch dispatch mode
- now Task.pass properly yields control to other tasks
2. task lifecycle tracking:
- added 'started' flag to mrb_task structure
- fixed first-run detection to avoid popping callinfo multiple times
- vm overwrites context status during execution, making it unreliable
3. removed mrblib/task.rb:
- empty Ruby method stubs were overriding C implementations
- all task methods now properly implemented in C
4. cleaned up task scheduler loop:
- proper task completion detection using switching flag
- round-robin scheduling for tasks at same priority
- clean scheduler exit when all tasks complete
tasks now cooperatively yield with Task.pass and complete cleanly.

replace confusing "tcb" (task control block) terminology with clearer
"mrb_task" naming:
- struct mrb_tcb -> struct mrb_task
- update mrb_task_state to use mrb_task pointers
- rename internal functions to avoid naming conflicts:
- mrb_task_new -> task_alloc
- mrb_task_free (lifecycle) -> task_free
- update field names for clarity:
- tcb_join -> join
- task (ruby object) -> self
- value (return value) -> result
this makes the code more readable and follows mruby naming conventions
like mrb_context, mrb_irep, etc.

extend mrb_fiber_state enum with task-specific states:
- MRB_TASK_CREATED: task context initialized
- MRB_TASK_STOPPED: task execution finished
add mrb_task_state structure to mrb_state:
- task queues array (dormant, ready, waiting, suspended)
- tick counter for scheduling
- wakeup_tick for sleep timing
- switching flag for context switches
remove duplicate mrb_task_state definition from task.h since it is
now defined in include/mruby.h. all changes guarded by
MRB_USE_TASK_SCHEDULER for zero overhead when disabled.

create mruby-task gem directory structure with:
- mrbgem.rake: gem specification with task scheduler define
- include/task.h: tcb structure and core scheduler declarations
- src/task.c: implementation skeleton with empty method stubs
- mrblib/task.rb: ruby api documentation and task::stat class
all methods have empty bodies ready for implementation.
