commit_submit_async() lets a WAIT-mode caller register a continuation
against an appended LSN instead of blocking on pthread_cond_timedwait,
reusing the existing admission-cap discipline (wait_admit_locked/
wait_release_locked) so the bounded-capacity guarantee carries over
unchanged. Purely additive: no existing call site (repl_wait_majority_ack)
is touched yet -- that switch lands in task 3.2 once commit_resolve()
(task 1.2) exists to drive it.
