run: critic can raise a run's step ceiling mid-flight (CriticHandle.MaxSteps)
executus CI / test (pull_request) Failing after 1m1s
Adversarial Review (Gadfly) / review (pull_request) Successful in 21m8s

Prerequisite for a full-fidelity mort agentcritic adapter (which adjusts a
healthy-but-long run's iteration budget, not just its deadline). executus's
CriticHandle was deadline+steer only; this adds the dynamic step ceiling above
an unchanged majordomo (which already exposes WithMaxStepsFunc).

- run.RunInfo += MaxIterations (the run's base ceiling, so a critic can raise it
  relative to the baseline).
- run.CriticHandle += MaxSteps() int — polled by the executor each step via
  agent.WithMaxStepsFunc; <=0 defers to the base. The executor uses
  WithMaxStepsFunc(critic.MaxSteps) when a critic is active, else WithMaxSteps.
- critic battery: handle.maxSteps (initialised from RunInfo.MaxIterations) +
  MaxSteps(); Decision gains RaiseStepsBy so an Escalator can raise the ceiling
  alongside ExtendBy. ExtendOnce default is unchanged (time-only).

Test: a critic returning MaxSteps=5 lets a base-MaxIterations=1 run complete two
tool-dispatch steps past the base ceiling. Core stays battery-free (run doesn't
import critic).
