Fix async generator type mismatch in Docker Client streaming

- Fixed single_result_generator to properly handle async generators from deep crawl strategies
- Added proper __aiter__ checking to distinguish between CrawlResult and async generators
- Await and yield individual results from nested async generators
- Streaming functionality now works correctly for all patterns (SDK, Direct API, Docker Client)
- All 22 comprehensive tests passing with 100% success rate
- Live streaming test confirmed working end-to-end
