Run CompletableResultCode completion action outside the lock

[amit306]

Fixes #8771

Problem

CompletableResultCode#succeed and failInternal run completion actions while holding a lock. This can cause a deadlock if two actions try to complete each other. Also, if an action throws an exception, the remaining actions are skipped and the result may never complete.

Solution

Both methods now use a shared complete method. It updates the result and copies the actions while holding the lock, then releases the lock before running them. runActions logs each exception, continues running the remaining actions, and rethrows the first exception at the end. whenComplete also uses runActions when the result is already complete.

Another option is to run all actions first and then throw the first exception. This would fix the issue while keeping the current behavior of succeed. Let me know your opinion.

We should do this, plus logging for all exceptions. Also, let's catch Exception, not Throwable. That will mean that errors (i.e. Throwables which are not Exceptions) bubble up and violate the "allOf" completion guarantee. But this seems fine and defensible.

Also, your PR description is too verbose. The key details are watered down by the noise of details like which specific test cases were added, which is self explanatory from the code. Less is more. I recommend writing PR descriptions/comments yourself, rather than relying on AI.

thanks @jack-berg for comment. I have updated the code and description. Please check
