SCHEMA=<file.json>: JSON-Schema -> GBNF compiler for grammar-forced drafts (#148)

* SCHEMA=<file.json>: JSON-Schema -> GBNF compiler for grammar-forced drafts (#48/#70 follow-up)

schema_gbnf.h compiles a practical JSON-Schema subset (strict objects, string/
number/integer/boolean/null, enum/const, arrays with items, nesting) into the
byte-level GBNF subset grammar.h parses, so structured-output workloads get
grammar-forced drafts without hand-writing GBNF. Unsupported keywords fail soft:
the engine runs without a grammar and output is unchanged (drafts are verified,
never constraints - a wrong compile can only cost acceptance, not correctness).

grammar_setup: GRAMMAR= (raw GBNF) keeps precedence; SCHEMA= feeds the compiler
into the same gr_parse path. 8 test groups in tests/test_schema_gbnf.c walk
compiled grammars end-to-end through the PDA (forced spans, enum disambiguation,
nested instances, escapes, leading-zero rejection, fail-closed fallbacks).

* schema_gbnf: whitespace-tolerant emission (jws at separators)

Measured on GLM-5.2 current main (#146): the greedy continuation writes sloppy
JSON (spaces after colons, fences, long free text) and a compact-only grammar
desyncs at the first stray space, forfeiting every span after it. jws points are
not forced themselves (two legal bytes) but the multi-byte spans around them
keep drafting and the walker survives non-compact output - strictly
acceptance-positive for a verified draft source. Tests re-derived for the new
span boundaries + a sloppy-instance walk.

+ *
+ * Compiles a practical subset of JSON Schema into the byte-level GBNF subset that
+ * grammar.h parses, so structured-output requests (OpenAI `response_format:
+ * {"type":"json_schema"}` and the SCHEMA= env) get grammar-forced drafts without
+ * hand-writing GBNF.
+ *
+ * Safety model: the grammar is a DRAFT SOURCE, never a sampling constraint (see
+ * grammar.h). A schema compiled too strictly (or a model that deviates) only costs
+ * draft acceptance — output is unchanged. So the compiler can be strict and compact
+ * (no whitespace between tokens, exact key order): strictness maximizes forced-span
+ * length on conforming outputs and cannot corrupt non-conforming ones.
+ *
+ * Supported subset:
+ *   type: object   + properties (+ required)     — properties in declared order;
+ *                    if `required` is present it must list every property (OpenAI
+ *                    structured-output "strict" semantics); a proper subset -> fail.
+ *   type: string   (+ enum of strings, const)
+ *   type: number | integer | boolean | null
+ *   type: array    + items (+ minItems 0|1)
+ *   enum / const   also allowed at value level with numbers
+ *   nesting to SGB_MAX_DEPTH; annotation keys ($schema, title, description,
+ *   default, examples, additionalProperties) are ignored.
+ * Anything else (anyOf/oneOf/$ref/pattern/format/minimum/maximum...) -> returns NULL and
