Fix terminal resize issues with comprehensive state management, error handling, and performance optimizations

- Added resize state management to prevent concurrent operations
- Enhanced error handling with automatic fallback mechanisms
- Implemented dimension validation (10-500 cols, 5-200 rows)
- Added WebSocket message queueing for reliable communication
- Enhanced ResizeObserver to watch parent elements
- Added throttling and debouncing for performance optimization
- Improved CSS layout with proper flex container sizing
- Maintained 100% backward compatibility
- All 327 tests passing
