perf(quest): Fix mutex contention in QuestCompletion with shared_mutex

PROBLEM: QuestCompletion used std::mutex for read-heavy data structures
which blocked ALL readers when ANY read was happening. With 100+ bots
calling quest-related functions from ThreadPool workers, this caused
severe lock contention and task delays.

AFFECTED MUTEXES (all read-heavy patterns):
- _pausedBotsMutex: Checked on EVERY quest event (HandleQuestEvent)
- _questOrderMutex: Read frequently during quest prioritization
- _objectiveOrderMutex: Read during objective sequencing

SOLUTION:
1. Changed _pausedBotsMutex from std::mutex to std::shared_mutex
   - Read operations (find) use std::shared_lock (concurrent readers OK)
   - Write operations (insert/erase) use std::unique_lock (exclusive)

2. Changed _questOrderMutex from std::mutex to std::shared_mutex
   - All operations use std::unique_lock (mostly writes in current code)
   - Future optimization: use shared_lock for read-only accesses

3. Changed _objectiveOrderMutex from std::mutex to std::shared_mutex
   - All operations use std::unique_lock (writes only currently)

This eliminates a major ThreadPool bottleneck where every bot's
quest event processing was blocking on mutex acquisition.
