workflow: render thrown script values inside the realm's execution window

Codex code-review round 3: the round-2 'contained stack getter' still let a
script escape the vm sync-slice timeout — throw { get stack() { while(true){} } }
put the spin on the HOST catch path, where no timeout applies (verified: a
direct sync-slice spin dies by the timeout; the getter-hidden one hung the
process). Identity-trusting the native getter is also insufficient: V8 stack
formatting reads script-controllable hooks at format time (Error.prepareStackTrace,
a subclass name getter — both empirically confirmed), so ANY host-side
formatting of a realm error can run realm code.

The fix moves rendering into the realm itself: the compiled body (and the meta
literal) is wrapped in a realm-side catch that pre-renders the thrown value to
a string (REALM_THROWN_RENDERER_SOURCE) — a hostile accessor/toString now runs
as ordinary script code, killed by the sync-slice timeout or falling under the
documented post-await spin limitation; host WorkflowErrors pass through for
the CANCELLED mapping. The host catch descriptor-reads the pre-rendered string
(thrownRendering) or falls back to describeThrown, which invokes no getter
whose identity is not the host realm's own native stack getter.

Tests: hostile-table expectations updated for realm-side rendering; new
regressions for the getter-hidden sync spin dying by the vm timeout (engine +
meta paths) and for a hostile thenable rejection that bypasses the realm
wrapper (renders host-side, proxy labelled, traps never run); describeThrown/
thrownRendering unit tables including the realm-error identity-mismatch case.
