Fix async bug in D-Bus interface and update documentation

- Fixed critical 'asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop' error
- Converted all D-Bus methods to async def with proper await usage
- Fixed dbus-next integration for full async functionality
- Daemon now properly handles concurrent async operations
- Updated TODO.md and CHANGELOG.md to reflect async bug fix
- Added interface_simple.py with dbus-next implementation
- Updated D-Bus policy for development use
- Added test script for D-Bus properties verification
