Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: properly handle async service cleanup in
 LocalBackend.close()

The close() method was calling service.close() without checking if it was
async, causing resource leaks when services had async cleanup methods.
This fix:
- Makes LocalBackend.close() async to match the base Backend class
- Properly awaits async service close methods
- Maintains backward compatibility for sync close methods
- Handles __exit__ context manager compatibility

Prevents GPU memory leaks and zombie processes in production deployments.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] feat(local): add async context manager support for
 LocalBackend and enforce async usage inside event loop\n\n- Implement
 __aenter__/__aexit__ to properly await cleanup\n- Make __exit__ raise if used
 under a running event loop, guiding to 'async with'\n- Keep sync 'with'
 working when no loop is running by calling asyncio.run(close())
