Add comprehensive Javadoc documentation for public APIs

- Document core classes: VSTask, VSMessage, VSInternalProcess
- Document event interfaces: VSAbstractEvent, VSCopyableEvent, VSTime
- Document timestamp events: VSTimestampTriggeredEvent, VSLamportTimestampEvent
- Document protocol framework: VSAbstractProtocol methods
- Document VSSimulator and VSRegisteredEvents
- Add detailed method descriptions with parameter and return value docs
- Include usage examples and cross-references between related classes
