Restructure asio headers and add extern template declarations

Summary

Two-part change to reduce asio template instantiation cost in ymake:

  1. Header restructuring: Move asio.hpp include behind a pimpl boundary
    in ymake_async.h. Non-async TUs (add_iter.cpp, general_parser.cpp,
    etc.) no longer transitively pull in all asio headers.

  2. Extern templates: Add explicit instantiation declarations for
    asio::any_executor<...> in a single asio_extern_templates.cpp
    translation unit. All other TUs get extern template declarations,
    instantiating the type only once.

Together these changes eliminate asio compilation cost from 12 of 19
affected TUs and reduce total asio instantiation time by ~118s.

Evidence

Analytical estimate based on Phase 11 ftime-trace profiling (1213 TUs,
-j1 build) and code analysis of which TUs include asio transitively:

Metric Before After (estimated) Delta
Total asio instantiation 181,765ms 63,886ms -117,879ms
Affected TUs 19 7 -12
Reduction 100% 35.1% -64.9%

Header restructuring saves ~103,803ms (12 TUs lose all asio cost).
Extern template saves ~14,076ms (7 remaining async TUs lose any_executor).

Note: "estimated" because Docker build produces symlinked ftime-trace files
that resolve inside the container volume; host-side comparison is not
accessible without additional tooling. Build success is the practical
verification (see below). Analytical estimate is conservative -- only
confirmed asio-bearing TUs are counted.

Supplementary: full per-TU breakdown in data/17-template-before-after.json.

Changes

devtools/ymake/ymake_async.h
  - Add pimpl TAsyncState struct; move asio member variables behind pointer
  - Add extern template declarations for any_executor<...>

devtools/ymake/ymake.h
  - Remove direct #include "asio.hpp"; keep lightweight awaitable+strand

devtools/ymake/ymake.cpp
  - Add TAsyncState definition (pimpl implementation)

devtools/ymake/async_pipeline.h
  - Update include path after header restructuring

devtools/ymake/configure_tasks.h
  - Update include path after header restructuring

devtools/ymake/asio_extern_templates.cpp  (new file)
  - Single explicit instantiation point for any_executor<...> and companions

devtools/ymake/CMakeLists.txt
  - Add asio_extern_templates.cpp to ymake build sources

Net change: 6 files modified, 1 file added.

Patch

patches/17-combined.patch

Sub-patches for review in isolation:

  • patches/17-01-header-restructuring.patch
  • patches/17-02-extern-templates.patch

Note: strand<any_io_executor> cannot be explicitly instantiated (uses
Unified Executors TS, not Networking TS; on_work_started / on_work_finished
absent). Only any_executor<...> variants are declared extern.

Testing

# Build only (no unit tests for header reorganization)
ya make devtools/ymake/bin

Build success is the verification: if asio pimpl boundary is incorrect or
extern template declarations are malformed, the build fails to link. Runtime
behavior is identical (header reorganization is a pure compilation artifact).

Optional: ya dump build-plan <target> | jq -S . > after.json and diff
against a pre-patch baseline to confirm identical build graph output.

See upstream/test-results.log for test execution status and environmental
constraints. Historical validation: ya make devtools/ymake/bin succeeded
in yatool Docker container during Phase 17 implementation.
