synchronizers: CountDownLatch vs CyclicBarrier vs Phaser vs Semaphore

One three-round worker pipeline implemented with CountDownLatch (one latch
per round), CyclicBarrier (reusable, with a barrier action), and Phaser
(reusable, plus dynamic mid-run registration), alongside Semaphore solving
the genuinely different problem of bounding concurrent access. Covers
timeout behavior (CyclicBarrier permanently breaks on one timeout, Phaser
doesn't) and virtual-thread compatibility, including the corrected finding
that Object.wait() releases its monitor and never pinned, unlike
Thread.sleep() inside synchronized.
