Memory Fixes

  • Fixes multiple memory leaks caused by missing destructor calls
  • Reduces excessive use of new operator in parser code
  • Refactors built-in function handling for better memory efficiency
  • Refactor jump lables for if/else/continue/break

Parser Bug Fixes

  • Function Declaration jumping:
    • Pre-jump addresses were incorrectly pointing to the end of the script instead of the function declaration address
    • Duplicate function names left unpatched jumps, causing OP_SET_INDEX to target address 0
  • Added test case (functions/04_prejump_grouping.gs2) to verify correct handling of interleaved top-level code between function groups
  • Addresses issue Account For Statements Between Functions #1

Other Changes

  • Removed .bytecode files from repo

### Summary

This PR modernizes and restructures the project layout, refactors build and interface code, and adds a faster arena-based allocation system for parser AST nodes. Legacy scripts and outdated test files were removed.

### Key Changes

**Project & Build Updates**

* Renamed the project from **gs2test** → **gs2parser** and improved build hygiene by using `${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}` for outputs.
* Reorganized source code into clear module subdirectories (`ast/`, `parser/`, `compiler/`, `memory/`, etc.).
* Added automatic export header generation for proper shared library support.
* Moved JS and C bindings into `bindings/js/` and `bindings/c/` with updated includes.

**CI & Script Cleanup**

* Updated `Jenkinsfile` and `package.json` to match new naming/output conventions.
* Removed obsolete legacy/test scripts.

**Parser & Memory Improvements**

* Introduced a high-performance **ArenaAllocator** for AST node allocation.
* Refactored `ParserContext` and parser code to allocate nodes through the arena, enabling fast bulk cleanup and better cache locality.
* Simplified allocation/lifetime handling and added cleaner debug stats.

**Codebase Refactoring**

* Consolidated compiler logic under `src/compiler/`.
* Updated visitor structure (`astvisitor.h` → `NodeVisitor.h`).
* Renamed and reorganized Rust bindings and codegen/compiler files for consistency.
* Removed fmtlib dependency from submodules

### Impact

The repo is now cleaner and more modular, supporting multi-target builds (native, shared/static, JS, C, Rust). Parser performance and memory behavior are significantly improved, and CI/build outputs are more reliable.

 - Bug 1 — All pre-jumps pointed to end of script: Every function's OP_SET_INDEX pre-jump was deferred and patched in getByteCode() to the final opIndex. If top-level code appeared
   between function groups, it was silently skipped.
 - Bug 2 — Duplicate function names left unpatched jumps: When addFunction rejected a duplicate name, the second declaration's jmpLoc was discarded, leaving its OP_SET_INDEX
  targeting address 0.

Test: Added functions/04_prejump_grouping.gs2 covering interleaved top-level code between function groups.
