feat: run independent tool calls in parallel with a TaskRunner - #3243

…romeDevTools#3251)

## Summary

`ToolHandler` built the same `{content: [{type: 'text', text}], isError:
true}` literal in three places and decided the routed page id inline.
This PR adds two module-level helpers:

- `errorResult(text)` returns the error `CallToolResult`.
- `routedPageId(tool, serverArgs, args)` returns the page id a page tool
call targets, or `undefined` when the call targets the selected page.

`routedPageId()` requires an integer id. The input schema rejects a
non-integer before the value is used, so no behavior changes.

This is PR 1 of a stack; PR 2 calls both helpers from a second place.

## Stack

1. **This PR**.
2. `feat: run independent tool calls in parallel with a TaskRunner`
(ChromeDevTools#3243).
3. `feat: run page-scoped tools on different pages in parallel` (ChromeDevTools#3252).

## Tests

No test changes. The existing `ToolHandler` tests cover the disabled
result, the validation error result, the handler error result, and page
id routing.

…Tools#3252)

## Summary

Page-scoped tools whose handler touches only the target page declare
`concurrency: 'page'`. With `--pageIdRouting` (the default),
`ToolHandler` runs such a call on the queue of the page named by
`pageId`, so calls on different pages run at the same time. Calls on one
page, and every `'exclusive'` tool, still serialize in FIFO order.

This is PR 3 of a stack. It only adds the annotations; the scheduling
comes from ChromeDevTools#3243.

## Stack

1. `refactor: extract errorResult() and routedPageId() in ToolHandler`
(ChromeDevTools#3251).
2. `feat: run independent tool calls in parallel with a TaskRunner`
(ChromeDevTools#3243).
3. **This PR**.

## User-visible changes

- With `--pageIdRouting`, calls that target different pages run in
parallel. Without it, every page tool targets the selected page and
serializes as before.
- `close_page`, `select_page`, `navigate_page`, and every other
`'exclusive'` tool wait for running page tools and block later page
tools until they finish.

## Explicit `concurrency`

`concurrency` is now a required field on `defineTool` and
`definePageTool` definitions, so every browser tool states its choice in
its definition (review feedback). 26 tools that touch browser-global
state, or that were not reviewed for page-only access, declare
`'exclusive'`: `comments.ts` (3), `emulation.ts` (1), `extensions.ts`
(5), `lighthouse.ts` (1), `memory.ts` (1), `pages.ts` (5),
`performance.ts` (3), `pwa.ts` (4), `screencast.ts` (2), `script.ts`
(1). `defineBrowserlessTool` still sets `'none'`.

## Tools that get `concurrency: 'page'`

`console.ts` (2), `css.ts` (1), `input.ts` (9), `network.ts` (2),
`pages.ts` (3), `screenshot.ts` (1), `slim/tools.ts` (3), `snapshot.ts`
(2), `thirdPartyDeveloper.ts` (2), `webmcp.ts` (2). Each handler reads
or writes only its target page: no page list, no selected page, no trace
state, no browser-wide emulation.

No tool schema or description changes, so `npm run gen` is not needed.

## Tests

The `concurrency: 'page'` suite in `tests/ToolHandler.test.ts` (added in
ChromeDevTools#3243) covers the scheduling with inline tool definitions. Inline tool
definitions in `tests/ToolHandler.test.ts` and
`tests/telemetry/metricsRegistry.test.ts` gain the now-required field.
No new tests: the change sets one field per tool and the type system
limits the values per tool kind.
