feat: migrate examples to StateChart, fix delayed events, document is_terminated

Migrate all 14 gallery examples from StateMachine to StateChart, setting
behavioral flags where needed to preserve existing semantics
(allow_event_without_transition, enable_self_transition_entries,
error_on_execution).

Add 4 new v3 feature examples:
- statechart_eventless_machine: eventless transitions (Ring Corruption)
- statechart_delayed_machine: compound/parallel states, delayed events,
  internal events, cancel_event (Beacons of Gondor)
- statechart_error_handling_machine: error.execution handling
- statechart_in_condition_machine: In() guard with parallel states

Fix bugs in delayed event handling:
- Rename send()/raise_() parameter from event_id to send_id to match
  BoundEvent.put() and cancel_event() signatures (cancel_event was
  silently broken because send_id was always None)
- Change continue→break in sync/async engine Phase 3 loop when
  encountering delayed events, allowing internal events and eventless
  transitions to be processed while waiting

Document is_terminated property:
- Add docstring to the property itself
- Add "Checking if the machine has terminated" section in docs/states.md
- Add migration entry in upgrade guide for current_state.final →
  is_terminated
- Update send_id references in docs (statecharts.md, release notes,
  upgrade guide)
