fix: Resolve large job failures, iCloud issues, and 6 other bugs (v1.7.2)

Large jobs dying:
- Cap executeCommand output buffer at 10 MB to prevent OOM on 50k+ file jobs
- Change verbose/compress defaults to false (were generating hundreds of MB of output)
- Add file count limit (50k) in analyzeSourceDirectory — prevents RAM exhaustion in parallel mode
- Add file count limit (100k) + Task.yield() in calculateDirectoryChecksum — prevents blocking

iCloud not working:
- Add --exclude=*.icloud to iCloud destinations — rsync was trying to read evicted placeholder stubs
- Remove Thread.sleep(0.5) from createDestinationDirectory — blocking sleep on cooperative thread

Other fixes:
- Convert runScript from blocking waitUntilExit() to async continuation — hung scripts no longer freeze execution
- Validate rsh/rsyncPath options before use — must be absolute paths to existing executables
