Add unit test for psync_task_free refcount fix (#377)

Adds tests/unit-tests/test_ptask_free.c to verify all code paths of the
psync_task_free fix from #377: single-owner free, last-ref destroy,
non-last-ref decrement, READY task signaling, and lock-before-refcnt
ordering. All 5 tests pass. Also adds compiled binary to .gitignore.

/*
* Test: psync_task_free lifecycle (fix-ptask-refcount-race)
*
* Verifies the fix in b92a389:
* 1. refcnt=1 path: lock acquired, destroy called immediately
* 2. refcnt>1, last ref: lock acquired, refcnt decremented, destroy called
* 3. refcnt>1, not last ref: refcnt decremented, destroy NOT called
* 4. READY tasks get signaled (status→RETURNED) when freed with refcnt>1
*
* The mutex is held during the refcnt check in all paths — the core fix.
* We verify this by intercepting pthread_mutex_lock/unlock with counters
* and confirming lock is held before destroy is invoked.
