An open wait on a tmux <c>wait-for</c> channel.

tmux gives a signal to whoever is registered on the channel and raises the
channel's pending flag only when nobody is. A waiter whose client dies stays
registered — tmux clears waiters when the server exits and at no other time
— so it goes on eating signals that can no longer reach anybody. Killing a
waiting client to enforce a timeout therefore destroys the next signal, and
each timed-out retry leaves another corpse to destroy the one after that.

So this never abandons a live waiter. <see cref="WaitAsync" /> returning
false means that attempt expired without observing completion. The open
wait remains owned and may already have completed from a racing signal.
Disposing ends its lifetime deliberately.
