Description

The Repr type name was unclear — it was intended to represent a lambda calculus expression, not a "representation."
This PR renames Repr to Expr throughout the registry package for clarity.

Rename Repr interface to Expr and baseRepr struct to baseExpr.
Rename repr.go to expr.go.
Rename ID() method to Repr() to indicate the representation type.
Rename NewRepr constructor to NewExpr.
Update all usages in codec, conversion, engine, process, and registry files.
Add command aliases conv and eng for convert and engine subcommands.

Benefits

The naming better reflects the domain: an Expr is an expression, and Repr() returns its representation kind.
Command aliases reduce typing for common subcommands.

Checklist

Code follows conventional commit format.
Branch follows naming convention (<type>/<description>). Always use underscores.
Tests pass (if applicable).
Documentation updated (if applicable).
