5924fe6db3 Synchronize ConditionState branch collection access (#3895)
# Description

`ConditionState.m_branches` (a plain `Dictionary`) was read and written
from multiple threads without synchronization. A state change on a
background thread could mutate the dictionary while readers
(`GetRetainState`/`UpdateRetainState`, `ConditionRefresh`, `GetBranch`)
enumerated it, yielding torn entries and native access violations
(observed as `IsBranch` on a null `this`). This ports the master378 fix
to `master`, where the type lives at
`Stack/Opc.Ua.Core.Types/State/ConditionState.cs` and uses
`ByteString`/nullable refs.

- **Lock all branch access**: added a private `m_branchesLock` guarding
every read/write of `m_branches` (`CreateBranch`, `GetBranch`,
`ReplaceBranchEvent`, `RemoveBranchEvent`, `ClearBranches`,
`GetBranchCount`).
- **Snapshot enumeration**: `GetBranches()` now returns a copy taken
under the lock, so internal readers and
`AlarmHolder.GetBranchesForConditionRefresh` iterate a stable collection
while other threads mutate the live one. Public signature is unchanged.
- **Test**: added `ConcurrentBranchAccessIsThreadSafe`, stressing
concurrent create/clear writers against enumerate/count readers.

`lock` is used rather than `SemaphoreSlim` because all affected methods
are synchronous. Each `ConditionState` holds its own lock, so the
recursive `UpdateRetainState` traversal across branches neither contends
nor deadlocks. `ConcurrentDictionary` was rejected: it would change the
public return type and still leave compound read-modify-write sequences
(e.g. `ReplaceBranchEvent`) unprotected.
