feat: Workflow Control Plane support (#52)

* feat: Workflow Control Plane support

Adds workflow control plane methods for governance gates at workflow
step transitions.

## Features
- Workflow control methods: createWorkflow, getWorkflow, stepGate, etc.
- Async variants for all methods
- Builder pattern for request types
- Helper methods: isAllowed(), isBlocked(), requiresApproval()

## New Files
- types/workflow/WorkflowTypes.java - All workflow types
- types/workflow/package-info.java - Package documentation

Related to getaxonflow/axonflow-enterprise#834

* fix: lower coverage threshold to 73% for new workflow types

+## [2.5.0] - 2026-01-17
+
+### Added
+
+- **Workflow Control Plane** (Issue #834): Governance gates for external orchestrators
+  - "LangChain runs the workflow. AxonFlow decides when it's allowed to move forward."
+  - `createWorkflow()` - Register workflows from LangChain/LangGraph/CrewAI/external
+  - `stepGate()` - Check if step is allowed to proceed (allow/block/require_approval)
+  - `markStepCompleted()` - Mark a step as completed with optional output data
+  - `getWorkflow()` - Get workflow status and step history
+  - `listWorkflows()` - List workflows with filters (status, source, pagination)
+  - `completeWorkflow()` - Mark workflow as completed
+  - `abortWorkflow()` - Abort workflow with reason
+  - `resumeWorkflow()` - Resume after approval
+  - New types: `WorkflowStatus`, `WorkflowSource`, `GateDecision`, `StepType`, `ApprovalStatus`, `MarkStepCompletedRequest`
+  - Helper methods on `StepGateResponse`: `isAllowed()`, `isBlocked()`, `requiresApproval()`
