Redesign integration test architecture to eliminate async/sync deadlock:
- Run SimulationServer in dedicated background thread with own event loop
- Rewrite TempCo tests as fully synchronous (no @pytest.mark.asyncio)
- Add ServerThread fixture in tests/integration/conftest.py
- Fix Unicode encoding errors (replace deg, mu, +/- with ASCII)
- Optimize temperature points for faster settling (23C, 25C, 27C)
All 3 TempCo integration tests now passing in ~5 minutes total.

Test connection handling, multiple clients, instrument access across
all three virtual instruments, physics engine integration, and error
handling. Update pytest-asyncio config for v1.x compatibility.
