fix(driver-twincat): resolve Low code-review findings (Driver.TwinCAT-004,006,014,015,016)

- Driver.TwinCAT-004: corrected the IEC time-type inline comments;
  documented that the driver currently surfaces them as raw UInt32
  counters.
- Driver.TwinCAT-006: ResolveHost returns a documented UnresolvedHost
  sentinel when no devices are configured instead of returning the
  logical DriverInstanceId (which never matches GetHostStatuses).
- Driver.TwinCAT-014: wired Probe.Timeout into the probe-loop call and
  added a NotificationMaxDelayMs config knob threaded through
  AddNotificationAsync.
- Driver.TwinCAT-015: Dispose() runs a genuinely synchronous teardown
  with bounded waits (no sync-over-async deadlock pattern).
- Driver.TwinCAT-016: pinned the Structure-tag rejection and the
  probe-loop vs read disposal race with regression tests.

+**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-05-23 — rewrote the inline comments to match the actual IEC 61131-3 / TwinCAT encoding (TIME = duration in ms, DATE = seconds since 1970-01-01 truncated to a day boundary, DT = seconds since 1970-01-01, TOD = ms since midnight) and added a block comment documenting that the driver surfaces them as raw UDINT counters via `DriverDataType.UInt32`. Test `Iec_time_types_map_to_uint32_raw_counter` pins the mapping.

The sentinel is publicly documented on the driver type. Updated `ResolveHost_falls_back_to_unresolved_sentinel_when_no_devices` (was `_to_DriverInstanceId_`) and added `ResolveHost_returns_unresolved_sentinel_when_no_devices` + `ResolveHost_unresolved_sentinel_matches_no_GetHostStatuses_entry` regressions.

+**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-05-23 — `TwinCATProbeOptions.Timeout` is now wired into `EnsureConnectedAsync` via an optional `timeoutOverride` parameter that the probe loop passes (reads / writes keep the driver-level `_options.Timeout`). Added a `TwinCATDriverOptions.NotificationMaxDelayMs` config knob (parsed from `driverConfigJson` via `TwinCATDriverConfigDto.NotificationMaxDelayMs`) and threaded it through `ITwinCATClient.AddNotificationAsync` so `NotificationSettings` carries the configured max-delay instead of the hard-coded 0. The `Host` / `AmsNetId` / `AmsPort` triple in the spec was already implemented as the single `HostAddress` (parsed `ads://{netId}:{port}` URI) — kept as-is to match the v2 driver convention; covered by `TwinCATAmsAddress`. Regression tests: `ProbeOptions_Timeout_is_applied_to_probe_calls`, `NotificationMaxDelayMs_is_exposed_on_driver_options`, `NotificationMaxDelayMs_parses_from_driver_config_json`.
