agra 11dc6a3299 fibers: drop redundant async_void — the variadic async covers nullary workers
async_void :: ufcs (io, worker: Closure() -> $R) -> Future($R) was redundant:
the variadic async :: ufcs (io, worker: Closure(..$args) -> $R, ..$args) binds
$args to the empty pack, so context.io.async(() -> $R => ...) already calls
worker() and returns Future($R). The name was also misleading — it returns
Future($R), not void (a true void form is Future(void), separate, blocked by
issue 0150).

Removed the definition (std/io.sx) + the std.sx re-export; nothing else
referenced it. Locked the nullary path in examples/1805 (prints nullary: 42) so
the coverage async_void provided is not lost. Suite green 736/0.

// B1.2 — the async ergonomic layer over the `Io` capability, blocking
// default. `context.io.async(worker, ..args)` runs the worker to completion
// inline and returns a `.ready` Future($R); `f.await()` yields the result
// (a value-failable `($R, !IoErr)`, handled with `or`). `context.io.now_ms()`
// reads the monotonic clock through the same capability.
//
// Worker form: a lambda whose params are annotated at the call site
// (`(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 => …`); `..args` forwards the call-site
// arguments to it.
#import "modules/std.sx";

// The Io capability also carries a monotonic clock.
