Fix flaky Iterator tests by making metadata fetching async-safe

Addresses race condition where concurrent calls to fetchMetadata() would
attempt multiple server requests before the first completed. This caused
failures when GetResultSetMetadata was called after result handler was
consumed.

The fix uses a promise-based locking pattern to ensure only one metadata
fetch occurs, with subsequent concurrent calls waiting for the same promise.

Also adds unit tests to verify async-safety of metadata fetching.
