src/libtmux/_internal/frozen_dataclass_sealable.py(refactor[types]): Improve type annotations and sealing implementation

why: Enhanced type safety and clarity for the frozen_dataclass_sealable decorator.

what:
- Implemented SealableProtocol for better typing of seal method
- Fixed overloads for frozen_dataclass_sealable for decorator factory and class forms
- Improved is_sealable type checking with proper Object/Type handling
- Enhanced classmethod implementation for is_sealable_class
- Added comprehensive doctests showing proper usage patterns
