Add Levenshtein distance-based similarity matching for undefined
variables, unknown types, unknown effects, and unknown traits.
When a name is not found, the error now suggests similar names
within edit distance 2.
Changes:
- Add levenshtein_distance() function to diagnostics module
- Add find_similar_names() and format_did_you_mean() helpers
- Update typechecker to suggest similar names for:
- Undefined variables
- Unknown types
- Unknown effects
- Unknown traits
- Add 17 new tests for similarity matching

- Add string concatenation support to + operator in typechecker
- Register ADT constructors in both type environment and interpreter
- Bind handlers as values so they can be referenced in run...with
- Fix effect checking to use subset instead of exact match
- Add built-in effects (Console, Fail, State) to run block contexts
- Suppress dead code warnings in diagnostics, modules, parser
Update all example programs with:
- Expected output documented in comments
- Proper run...with statements to execute code
Add new example programs:
- behavioral.lux: pure, idempotent, deterministic, commutative functions
- pipelines.lux: pipe operator demonstrations
- statemachine.lux: ADT-based state machines
- tailcall.lux: tail call optimization examples
- traits.lux: type classes and pattern matching
Add documentation:
- docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md: feature roadmap and status
- docs/PERFORMANCE_AND_TRADEOFFS.md: performance analysis
Add benchmarks for performance testing.

Implement beautiful, informative error messages inspired by Elm:
- Rich diagnostic rendering with source code snippets
- Colored output with proper underlines showing error locations
- Categorized error titles (Type Mismatch, Unknown Name, etc.)
- Contextual hints and suggestions for common errors
- Support for type errors, runtime errors, and parse errors
