Move RVM binary encoding from bincode to postcard and bump the format version. Update test helpers, docs, changelog, and refresh lockfiles after the swap.
Closes#575

- Introduce ExecutionTimer/ExecutionTimerConfig to allow limiting evaluating time.
- To amortize time checking costs, checking interval can be configured via the notion of work units
- A global fallback time limit can be set to universally limit all evaluation in addition to engine level limit setting.
- Implement limnits in interpreter and RVM. In RVM, also handle suspend/resume so that time during pause is not counted.
- Add engine-level APIs to set/clear per-engine timer configuration and apply global fallback defaults.
- Surface execution-time limits through FFI and C# bindings
- Add C# tests and example usage to validate engine overrides, global fallback behavior, and compiled policy enforcement.
- Expand docs for execution-time limit
- Add interpreter YAML cases and VM unit tests for time-limit behavior and deterministic time sources.

* feat!: add Rego Virtual Machine (RVM) implementation
This commit introduces a register-based virtual machine for executing Rego
policies with bytecode-style instructions. Unlike the existing tree-walking
interpreter, the RVM compiles policies into instruction sequences that operate
on virtual registers, offering better performance and optimization potential.
Core Components:
Instruction Set Architecture:
- Define instruction types for data operations, control flow, and builtins
- Implement instruction parameter encoding and display formatting
- Add instruction parser with comprehensive test coverage
Virtual Machine Engine:
- Register-based execution model with program counter management
- Loop execution supporting iterators, comprehensions, and quantifiers
- Function call handling with argument evaluation and context management
- Rule evaluation with default value resolution and virtual data support
- Arithmetic and comparison operation implementations
Program Representation:
- Program listing builder with instruction sequencing
- Rule tree construction for organizing policy rules
- Binary and JSON serialization for compiled programs
- Recompilation support for program modification
Testing Infrastructure:
- Extensive YAML test suites covering all VM features
- Rust unit tests for VM execution and instruction parsing
- Test suites for loops, comprehensions, builtins, and control flow
BREAKING CHANGE: Introduces new VM execution path alongside interpreter

* docs: add detailed RVM architecture references
Introduce architecture.md explaining program artifacts, serialization, and runtime subsystems.
Document the full opcode catalog in instruction-set.md, including operands, parameter tables, and outcomes.
Walk through execution flow, stacks, and operational guidance in vm-runtime.md, tying the runtime to the new architecture docs.

- add a dedicated `compiler/destructuring_planner` feature that precomputes binding plans for assignments, parameters, and `some in` expressions
- enrich `ScopeContext` with same-scope tracking, local scheduling hints, and module globals so the planner enforces := shadowing rules without blocking parent scopes
- wire the planner through compiler, hoist, interpreter, and engine paths while updating binding plan variants and adding query traversal helpers for dependency analysis
- document the new planner architecture and ship interpreter regressions that exercise nested destructuring, shadowing, and error reporting

Add `or` operator to Rego languages. Available via `rego-extensions`
Cargo feature.
If the evaluated lhs value is not false, null or undefined it is returned.
Otherwise rhs is evaluated and returned.
or operator has least precedence, and is left-associative.
