perf: Concurrent resource event fetching, remove unnecessary async

client.rs:
- fetch_all_resource_events() now uses tokio::try_join!() to fire all
  three API requests (state, label, milestone events) concurrently
  instead of awaiting each sequentially. For entities with many events,
  this reduces wall-clock time by up to ~3x since the three independent
  HTTP round-trips overlap.

main.rs:
- Removed async from handle_issues() and handle_mrs(). These functions
  perform only synchronous database queries and formatting; they never
  await anything. Removing the async annotation avoids the overhead of
  an unnecessary Future state machine and makes the sync nature of
  these code paths explicit.
