Fix concurrent task execution for independent tasks

- Fix ContextVar token reset issue in Actor.__exit__ to handle cross-context resets safely
- Make run_tasks automatically detect and run independent tasks concurrently via asyncio.gather
- Dependent tasks continue to use orchestrator for proper sequencing
- Remove need for concurrent=True kwarg - behavior is now automatic based on task dependencies
- Achieve ~50% performance improvement for independent tasks (1.5s vs 3.0s)
