refactor: unify error output to Rust-style format

Replace the old 'Error at L1:1' format with the new
Rust-style diagnostic format for syntax errors. All errors
now consistently show:

  error[RADxxxxx]: message
    --> file:line:col
     |
  n  | source line
     | ^^^^^^^^
     |
     = info: rad explain RADxxxxx

This affects validateSyntax and ValidateNoErrors in
script_meta.go, which now use DiagnosticRenderer instead
of the old CtxErrorExit path.

Key-not-found and index-out-of-bounds errors stay
panic-based (not emitErrorf) so the fallback operator
(??) can still catch them via recover.

Test expectations updated to use assertErrorContains for
flexibility with trailing whitespace and cascade errors.
