Policy evaluation at scale needs to be able to set memory limits
so that a bad policy does not hog memory or to ensure that
policy evaluation itself does not use too much memory which could
cause other components to suffer.
This PR introduces capability to set and enforce global memory limits.
It also lays the groundwork for enabling per evaluation limits in future.
Once a global memory limit is set, Regorus maintains per thread counters
to track memory activity (allocation, deallocation) of a thread.
These counters are periodically flushed to global memory counters.
Per thread counters avoid the contention that updating global counters
on each alloc/free would cause.
Policy evaluation periodically checks these counters and raises errors
if allocated memory has exceeded the configured limit.
Currently memory limit capability is exposed only to FFI and C#.
Also update mimalloc to v2.2.6

This PR implements widely accepted Rust programming practices for
dealing with panics across ABI (programming language) boundaries.
- Add panic_guard.rs to wrap FFI calls and prevent panic across FFI/ABI boundary (undefined behavior).
- Capture per-thread backtraces via a temporary panic hook
- After a panic, subsequent invocations are poisoned.
- Integrate with_unwind_guard across the engine, schema registry, and target registry exportis

- Introduce Utf8Marshaller helpers and SafeHandle wrappers so the managed API centralizes UTF-8 conversions and lifetime management for native pointers.
- Update Engine, Compiler, CompiledPolicy, SchemaRegistry, and TargetRegistry to rely on the new marshaller/safe handles, tightening disposal and reducing transient allocations during interop calls.
- Add allocation guard coverage in Regorus.Tests and report bytes/op in the compiled policy benchmark to surface future regressions.

Also update binding versions and lock files.
Note:
- Ruby binding is not updated
- C# binding is v0.7.0. We will make it match Regorus version later.

- Documentation
- Regorus Engine is intended to be used from a single thread
- Clone the engine after adding policies and data to use from another thread
- Builtin errors strictness:
- default to less strict for OPA compatibility
- Provide API to change strictness
- Expose GetAstAsJson to C#,
This can allow writing policy validations in C#.
- Use spectre mitigated msvc crt libs (binskim compliance)
- Update dependencies

Organize C# binding example into separate Regorus nuget package and
a test app.
The nuget package targets netstandard 2.0 and 2.1.
The test app is tested for netframework 8.0.
Implement IDisposable for Engine cleanup.
Also remove net40 example. Can be added back later if needed.
