Andrew Kesterson 43f46dca64 Add mutation testing to validate the test suite
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.
