feat(kernel): add multi-skill orchestration bridge + true parallel execution

- Kernel orchestration bridge: execute_orchestration, auto_compose_skills,
  validate_orchestration methods on Kernel struct
- True parallel execution: replace sequential for-loop with tokio::JoinSet
  for concurrent node execution within parallel groups
- Tauri commands: orchestration_execute (auto-compose or pre-defined graph),
  orchestration_validate (dry-run validation)
- Full type conversions: OrchestrationRequest/Response with camelCase serde
