feat(v2): support async channel adapter factories

Channel adapter factories can now return a Promise, enabling adapters
that need async initialization like loading auth state from disk
(e.g. WhatsApp reading credentials via useMultiFileAuthState).
Existing sync factories are unaffected — await on a sync return is
a no-op. All current adapters remain synchronous.
