Refactor async task handling

- Standardize async/poll usage with 'ASYNC_ENABLED | bool'
- Add async/poll parameters to Cloudflare, Nginx, Mailu, MIG, Nextcloud, and OpenLDAP tasks
- Update async configuration in 'group_vars/all/00_general.yml' to ensure boolean evaluation
- Allow CAA, cache, and DNS tasks to run asynchronously when enabled
