feat: implement production-ready container and compose modules

This commit establishes a robust foundation for Perry's container and
multi-service orchestration subsystems.

Key changes:
- Unified `ContainerBackend` trait with support for apple/container,
  orbstack, colima, rancher-desktop, lima, podman, and docker.
- Platform-specific backend auto-detection with strict priority ordering.
- State-aware `ComposeEngine` that tracks session resources for reliable
  rollbacks and cleanups using project-level labels.
- Stable container naming format: `{md5_8chars}-{random_hex}`.
- Full `ComposeProject` discovery supporting .env interpolation and
  multi-file YAML merging.
- Synchronized FFI bridge in `perry-stdlib` with async-safe global
  backend initialization.

- Incomplete rollback logic in the compose engine.
- Backend detection using compile-time cfg! instead of runtime checks.
- Missing security isolation in the capability runner.
- Deviations from the specified OciBackend/OciCommandBuilder architecture.

A minor fix was also applied to crates/perry-runtime/src/closure.rs
to resolve duplicate symbol linker errors during testing.
