Pull request: fix(ext/node): improve readline and EventEmitter compat

## Summary

- **readline**: `pause()`/`resume()` now throw `ERR_USE_AFTER_CLOSE` when called after `close()`, matching Node.js behavior
- **events**: `listenerCount()` now supports `EventTarget` objects (delegates to `getEventListeners()`)
- **events**: Rewrite `EventEmitter.on()` async iterator with backpressure support (`highWaterMark`/`lowWaterMark`), `kWatermarkData` symbol, `kFirstEventParam` for single-value events, `close` events option, and `listenersController()` for proper cleanup
- **readline**: `[Symbol.asyncIterator]()` now uses `EventEmitter.on()` instead of a custom Readable stream, matching Node.js implementation

## Test plan
- [x] `test-readline-interface.js` — passes
- [x] `test-readline-async-iterators-backpressure.js` — passes
