feat: add TaskSeq.replicate and TaskSeq.zip3 (60 tests, ref #289)

- TaskSeq.replicate: creates a task sequence containing a value n times
- TaskSeq.zip3: combines three task sequences into triples, truncating to shortest
- 13 tests for replicate (empty, negative count, correctness, reusability)
- 47 tests for zip3 (null checks, empty, truncation, mixed types, side effects)
- Update README.md: mark replicate and zip3 as implemented
