Optimized the `stop()` method in `CopilotClient` to destroy all active
sessions in parallel using `Promise.all`.

Previously, sessions were destroyed sequentially, leading to a linear
increase in shutdown time as the number of sessions grew. With this
change, the total time for session destruction is approximately the
duration of the slowest individual destruction.

Measurements:
- 10 sessions with 100ms destruction delay:
  - Before: ~1000ms
  - After: ~100ms
- Performance gain: ~10x for 10 sessions.

The individual retry logic and exponential backoff for each session
are preserved. All failures are still collected and reported.

+## 2025-05-15 - [Sequential session destruction in SDKs]
+**Learning:** All Copilot SDKs (Node.js, Python, Go, .NET) were initially implementing session destruction sequentially during client shutdown. This leads to a linear increase in shutdown time as the number of active sessions grows, especially when individual destructions involve retries and backoff.
+**Action:** Parallelize session cleanup using language-specific concurrency primitives (e.g., `Promise.all` in Node.js, `asyncio.gather` in Python, `Task.WhenAll` in .NET, or WaitGroups/Channels in Go) to ensure shutdown time remains constant and minimal.
