0.18 primitive: crate::halt::Halt cancellation token

One-bit cooperative cancellation flag. Replaces ad-hoc Arc<AtomicBool>
patterns scattered across libfreemkv (DiscStream::set_halt) and the
HALT_FLAGS global registry in autorip. See
freemkv-private/memory/0_18_redesign.md.

+//! One-bit cooperative cancellation flag.
+//!
+//! `Halt` is a clonable token wrapping `Arc<AtomicBool>`. Pass clones into
+//! every long-running loop; the loop polls `is_cancelled()` and bails out
+//! cleanly. Calling `cancel()` from any clone flips the shared flag, and
+//! every other clone observes it on its next poll.
+//!
+//! Why: `Ordering::Relaxed` is sufficient on both load and store because
+//! this flag is purely advisory — no other memory operations piggyback on
+//! it for happens-before ordering. Callers that need to publish data
+//! across threads do so via channels or other synchronization, not via
+//! this bit.
