feat: Add mcrfpy.step() and synchronous screenshot for headless mode (closes #153)

Implements Python-controlled simulation advancement for headless mode:

- Add mcrfpy.step(dt) to advance simulation by dt seconds
- step(None) advances to next scheduled event (timer/animation)
- Timers use simulation_time in headless mode for deterministic behavior
- automation.screenshot() now renders synchronously in headless mode
  (captures current state, not previous frame)

This enables LLM agent orchestration (#156) by allowing:
- Set perspective, take screenshot, query LLM - all synchronous
- Deterministic simulation control without frame timing issues
- Event-driven advancement with step(None)
