The tutorial previously scattered runtime information across gotchas and appendices without a cohesive chapter. This adds a dedicated chapter covering the scheduler, program lifecycle, garbage collection (both intra-actor and ORCA), ASIO, backpressure, and runtime options. The two superseded appendix pages (Memory Allocation at Runtime and Garbage Collection with Pony-ORCA) are removed, with their content folded into the new GC page and redirects added in netlify.toml. Cross-references are added from the scheduling and GC gotcha pages, and the compiler-args appendix now points to the new Runtime Options page. Adapted in part from rhagenson's earlier work on the runtime-basics branch. Closes #408
