refactor: rewrite CLI and internal architecture (#41)

## Description

The old architecture used a monolithic `main()` with a custom arg parser, an event-emitter-based runtime, and a plugin system for optional features.
This PR rewrites the CLI and internal architecture to be modular, extensible, and built around a registry of interchangeable components.

- Replace custom CLI arg parsing with Cobra subcommands (`convert`, `reduce`, `engine list`).
- Introduce a registry system (`internal/registry`) for marshalers, codecs, and engines, with BFS-based conversion path resolution.
- Add type-erased adapter layer (`internal/cli`) with `Repr`, `Engine`, `Process`, `Marshaler`, and `Conversion` interfaces wrapping generic `pkg/` types.
- Replace the event-emitter-based `Runtime` with a simpler `Engine`/`Process` model (`pkg/engine`).
- Add generic `Codec[T, U]` and `Marshaler[T]` interfaces (`pkg/codec`).
- Merge `saccharine/token` sub-package into `saccharine` and rename scanner functions from `parse*` to `scan*`.
- Make saccharine-to-lambda conversion bidirectional (encode and decode).
- Add `lambda.Marshaler` and `saccharine.Marshaler` implementing `codec.Marshaler`.
- Remove old infrastructure: `pkg/runtime`, `pkg/expr`, `internal/plugins`, `internal/statistics`.
- Add `make lint` target and update golangci-lint config.

### Decisions

- Cobra was chosen for the CLI framework to support nested subcommands and standard flag handling.
- The registry uses BFS to find conversion paths between representations, allowing multi-hop conversions without hardcoding routes.
- Type erasure via `cli.Repr` (wrapping `any`) enables the registry to work with heterogeneous types while keeping `pkg/` generics type-safe.
- The old plugin/event system was removed entirely rather than adapted, since the new `Process` model can support hooks differently in the future.

## Benefits

- Subcommands make the CLI self-documenting and easier to extend with new functionality.
- The registry pattern decouples representations, conversions, and engines, making it trivial to add new ones.
- BFS conversion routing means adding a single codec automatically enables transitive conversions.
- Simpler `Engine`/`Process` model reduces complexity compared to the event-emitter runtime.
- Consolidating the `token` sub-package reduces import depth and package sprawl.
