teknium1 9ee4fe41fe Fix image_generate 'Event loop is closed' in gateway
Root cause: fal_client.AsyncClient uses @cached_property for its
httpx.AsyncClient, creating it once and caching forever. In the gateway,
the agent runs in a thread pool where _run_async() calls asyncio.run()
which creates a temporary event loop. The first call works, but
asyncio.run() closes that loop. On the next call, a new loop is created
but the cached httpx.AsyncClient still references the old closed loop,
causing 'Event loop is closed'.

Fix: Switch from async fal_client API (submit_async/handler.get with
await) to sync API (submit/handler.get). The sync API uses httpx.Client
which has no event loop dependency. Since the tool already runs in a
thread pool via the gateway, async adds no benefit here.

Changes:
- image_generate_tool: async def -> def
- _upscale_image: async def -> def
- fal_client.submit_async -> fal_client.submit
- await handler.get() -> handler.get()
- is_async=True -> is_async=False in registry
- Remove unused asyncio import
