Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Implement IBuildEngine3 yield/reacquire for
OutOfProcTaskHost
- Added TaskHostYield and TaskHostReacquire packet types (0x16, 0x17)
- Created packet classes for yield/reacquire communication
- Updated OutOfProcTaskHostNode to send yield/reacquire packets and wait for acks
- Updated TaskHostTask to handle and acknowledge yield/reacquire packets
- Added wait handles for yield and reacquire acknowledgments
- Properly dispose new wait handles on shutdown
