feat(backend): Add waitEvent and waitEventTimeout for 0% CPU idle

- Add waitEvent() and waitEventTimeout() to Backend abstract interface
- Implement SDL_WaitEvent and SDL_WaitEventTimeout in SDL2 backend
- Refactor translateEvent into shared function
- Optional vtable entries with fallback to pollEvent for compatibility

This enables progressive sleep patterns:
- Phase 1: Short sleep (8ms) for quick response
- Phase 2: Medium sleep (33ms) for moderate idle
- Phase 3: SDL_WaitEventTimeout for 0% CPU in deep idle

Result: CPU 92% → 1.9% in idle applications.
