feat: add De Bruijn index reduction engine

Closes #26

- Added -i flag to select interpreter (lambda or debruijn)
- Created debruijn package with Expression interface
  - Variable contains index and optional label
  - Abstraction contains only body (no parameter)
  - Application structure remains similar
- Implemented De Bruijn reduction without variable renaming
  - Shift operation handles index adjustments
  - Substitute replaces by index instead of name
- Abstracted Engine into interface with two implementations
  - LambdaEngine: original named variable engine
  - DeBruijnEngine: new index-based engine
- Added conversion functions between representations
  - LambdaToDeBruijn: converts named to indexed
  - DeBruijnToLambda: converts indexed back to named
  - SaccharineToDeBruijn: direct saccharine to De Bruijn
- Updated main to switch engines based on -i flag
- All test samples pass with both engines
