fix(hanzo-mcp): convert blocking subprocess.run to async

- git_search.py: All 6 subprocess.run calls converted to asyncio.create_subprocess_exec - search_tool.py: All 6 subprocess.run + 3 blocking file reads converted to async - npx.py: Converted to asyncio.create_subprocess_exec with proper timeout - uvx.py: Both subprocess calls converted to async with timeout handling - open.py: Platform openers converted to async fire-and-forget pattern All tools now use non-blocking async I/O for better concurrency. Tests: 31/31 passing.
