AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE was AKERR_LAST_ERRNO_VALUE + 15, but the highest defined
code, AKERR_BADEXC, is + 17 (AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED is + 16). akerr_name_for_status
rejects any status above the max, so those codes could never have a registered
name and the AKERR_BADEXC registration in akerr_init was dead code -- a gap
found by mutation testing. Bump the max to + 17.
- err_maxval: new test asserting the reserved AKERR_* range exceeds the number
of AKERR_* codes and that every code is individually indexable. Fails against
the old + 15 value (verified), guarding against regression.
- err_error_names: now also checks AKERR_BADEXC's name, which the fix makes
reachable.
Mutation score on src/error.c rises 71% -> 74%: the previously-dead BADEXC
registration and the name_for_status upper-bound check are now killable.

Introduce a self-contained mutation testing harness that verifies the unit
tests actually catch bugs: it makes small deliberate breakages to the library
(flip comparisons, delete statements, swap true/false, etc.), rebuilds, and
runs the whole CTest suite against each mutant. Tests that still pass reveal a
gap; tests that fail "kill" the mutant.
- scripts/mutation_test.py: the engine (stdlib only, no LLVM/clang deps).
Operators ROR/LCR/BCR/AOR/ICR/SDL over src/error.c and the macro header.
Mutates a scratch copy, never the working tree. Supports --target, --list,
--max-mutants sampling, --threshold gating, --timeout.
- CMakeLists.txt: 'mutation' custom target (cmake --build build --target mutation).
- .gitea/workflows/ci.yaml: gated mutation job on src/error.c (threshold 65%).
- tests/MUTATION.md: how to run, interpret survivors, and known equivalents.
Close the real gaps the harness found in src/error.c (score 53% -> 71%):
- err_error_names: the AKERR_* codes have their names registered by akerr_init
- err_release_clears: releasing a context wipes it before reuse
- err_pool_exhaust: akerr_next_error returns NULL when the pool is full and
always hands back the lowest free slot
Also surfaced (documented, not fixed): AKERR_MAX_ERR_VALUE (+15) is below
AKERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED (+16) and AKERR_BADEXC (+17), so those codes can never
have a name registered.

Apply emacs CC-mode "stroustrup" style (c-basic-offset 4, indent-tabs-mode t)
to the test files added in the previous commit, matching the existing house
style. Whitespace only; no behavioral change.

Add 11 CTest programs and a shared test helper covering gaps left by the
original four tests (which only exercised FAIL/CATCH/HANDLE and CLEANUP):
- err_capture.h: capturing akerr_log_method + NDEBUG-proof AKERR_CHECK so
tests can assert on message/status/stacktrace content, not just exit codes
- err_success: clean nested return does not break/handle/leak
- err_pool_refcount: 100k raise->catch->handle cycles leak 0 pool slots
- err_handle_default / err_handle_group / err_handle_dispatch: handler routing
- err_pass / err_ignore / err_swallow: PASS, IGNORE, FINISH(e,false)
- err_break_variants: FAIL_*_BREAK and FAIL_*_RETURN
- err_errno: system errno name lookup + "Unknown Error" boundary
- err_custom_handler: override the unhandled-error hook, assert non-fatally
Register tests via a foreach loop in CMakeLists.txt. Ignore build/.
