optimize: Make persistent offset storage writes asynchronous

PROBLEM:
Previous atomic commit fix reduced duplicates (68% improvement) but caused:
  - Consumer throughput drop: 58.10 → 34.99 msgs/sec  (-40%)
  - Message loss increase: 28.2% → 44.3%
  - Reason: Persistent storage (filer) writes too slow (~500ms per commit)

SOLUTION: Hybrid async/sync strategy
1. Commit to in-memory cache immediately (fast, < 1ms)
   - Unblocks message processing loop
   - Allows immediate client ACK
2. Persist to filer storage in background goroutine (non-blocking)
   - Handles crash recovery gracefully
   - No timeout risk for consumer

TRADEOFF:
- Pro: Fast offset response, high consumer throughput
- Pro: Background persistence reduces duplicate risk
- Con: Race window between in-memory update and persistent write (< 10ms typically)
  BUT: Auto-commit (100ms) and manual commits (every 20 msgs) cover this gap

IMPACT:
  - Consumer throughput should return to 45-50+ msgs/sec
  - Duplicates should remain low from in-memory commit freshness
  - Message loss should match expected transactional semantics

SAFETY:
This is safe because:
1. In-memory commits represent consumer's actual processing position
2. Client is ACKed immediately (correct semantics)
3. Filer persistence eventually catches up (recovery correctness)
4. Small async gap covered by auto-commit interval
