fix: resolve 30-second connection hang in native fetch

Fixes connection hang issue similar to todoist-api-typescript#406 where
processes would hang for ~30 seconds after API calls complete when using
Node.js native fetch.

## Root Cause

Node.js native fetch uses undici with ~30s keepAlive timeout by default.
Additionally, the configured timeout (30s) was never actually applied to
fetch calls, and timeout handlers weren't being cleared properly.

## Changes

- **Add undici Agent**: Configure HTTP agent with 1ms keepAlive timeout
  and pass via dispatcher option to prevent connection hangs
- **Fix timeout bug**: Actually apply the configured 30s timeout to fetch calls
- **Add timeout cleanup**: Implement proper clearTimeout functionality to
  prevent hanging timeout handlers
- **Maintain compatibility**: CustomFetch implementations unaffected,
  no breaking changes to public API

## Dependencies

- Added undici ^7.16.0 for connection management

## Testing

- All existing tests pass (166/166)
- Connection hang test confirms ~2s execution vs ~31s before fix
- Timeout enforcement now works correctly

Addresses same issues as:
- Doist/todoist-api-typescript#408
- Doist/todoist-api-typescript#414
