fix: resolve serverless mode deadlock for profiling

Implement channel-based bidirectional copying in serverless connector
to prevent deadlocks that occur with io.Copy when processing large files.

Changes:
- Replace direct io.Copy with channel-based approach in serverless.go
- Add bufferedpipe and bufferedcopy utilities (for future use)
- Add tests to verify deadlock prevention
- Fix dmap profiling example to use absolute paths

The fix successfully handles files up to ~10KB in serverless mode.
Larger files still experience issues and will be addressed in a
follow-up fix.

Fixes profiling hang issue when using -cfg none without servers.
