Add 'wait' action to block fzf until search completion

The 'wait' action blocks subsequent action execution until the current
search completes. This is essential for chaining actions after
query-changing actions (e.g. transform-search(...)+wait+best), ensuring
motion actions operate on complete results rather than stale data.

- Blocks all user input except ESC/CTRL-C while waiting
- Shows visual feedback: dimmed query, (..) indicator, hidden cursor
- Clears pending actions if user cancels with ESC/CTRL-C

Closes: #4825
