Pranay Prakash efbdc213a0 [core] Make hook.metadata a lazy Promise getter (#3988)
* [core] Make `hook.metadata` a lazy Promise getter

Hydrating a hook's metadata is a decrypting READ: it needs the owning
run's payload keys, and resolving those costs a run fetch plus a
`run-key` API round trip (~350ms). `getHookByToken()` did that work
eagerly on every lookup that found a metadata-bearing hook, so callers
that only wanted `runId`/`token` — and hook resumption, which never
reads metadata at all — paid for it anyway.

`metadata` is now a getter returning a memoized Promise, the same shape
as `run.returnValue`. The lookup is one read again; hydration and the
key resolution behind it happen on first access, or never.

* docs: surface the lazy hook.metadata change in What's new, the migration skill, and the resumeHook reference

Adds the breaking-change row to the v5 What's new page and puts that page
in the sidebar as the first visible entry (the /v5/docs redirect to
getting-started is unchanged). Teaches the migrating-workflow-v4-to-v5
skill the `await hook.metadata` rewrite and bumps its version. Points the
resumeHook reference at HookWithLazyMetadata, and notes on the World
storage page that world.hooks.getByToken() returns raw serialized
metadata.

* [core] Export the lazy-metadata hook type as `Hook` from `workflow/api`

`getHookByToken()` and `resumeHook()` return `Hook`, not a separate
`HookWithLazyMetadata`: one public hook type whose `metadata` is a lazy
Promise, mirroring `Run` for runs. The World-level record from
`@workflow/world` is unchanged and is referenced as `WorldHook` inside the
runtime.

* [core] Define the lazy `metadata` getter in place; tighten changeset and docs wording

Review feedback: the hook record a World returns is a fresh object per
lookup and the eager path mutated it anyway, so define the getter on it
directly instead of copying it with Object.create(). The changeset is one
sentence, and the docs describe hydration as extra network round trips
rather than decryption, since not every World encrypts.
