Dylan Conway 243fa45bec fix(shell): prevent use-after-free in builtin OutputTask callbacks inside $() (#26987)
## Summary

- Fixes use-after-free (ASAN use-after-poison) when shell builtins
(`ls`, `touch`, `mkdir`, `cp`) run inside command substitution `$(...)`
and encounter errors (e.g., permission denied)
- The `output_waiting` and `output_done` counters in the builtin exec
state went out of sync because `output_waiting` was only incremented for
async IO operations, while `output_done` was always incremented
- In command substitution, stdout is `.pipe` (sync) and stderr is `.fd`
(async), so a single OutputTask completing both writes could satisfy the
done condition while another OutputTask's async stderr write was still
pending in the IOWriter

The fix moves `output_waiting += 1` before the `needsIO()` check in all
four affected builtins so it's always incremented, matching
`output_done`.

## Test plan

- [x] `echo $(ls /tmp/*)` — no ASAN errors (previously crashed with
use-after-poison)
- [x] `echo $(touch /root/a /root/b ...)` — no ASAN errors
- [x] `echo $(mkdir /root/a /root/b ...)` — no ASAN errors
- [x] `ls /nonexistent` — still reports error and exits with code 1
- [x] `echo $(ls /tmp)` — still captures output correctly
- [x] Existing shell test suite: 292 pass, 52 fail (pre-existing), 83
todo — no regressions
