feat: NCS-31 FastParse FEN (#22)

Summary

  - Added fastparse_3:3.0.2 dependency to modules/io
  - Implemented FenParserFastParse as a second alternative FEN parser using FastParse, with the same public API as
  FenParser and FenParserCombinators
  - Parsers are built bottom-up using (using P[Any]) Scala 3 syntax with NoWhitespace.* to prevent implicit whitespace
  skipping; rank sum validation uses Pass/Fail inside .flatMap
  - Added FenParserFastParseTest mirroring FenParserCombinatorsTest to prove behavioural equivalence across all three
  implementations

  Test plan

  - All existing tests pass — FenParser, FenParserCombinators, and all other modules untouched
  - FenParserFastParseTest covers all cases: valid FEN, invalid color, invalid castling, invalid board shapes, en
  passant, rank overflow, round-trip via FenExporter
  - All parser logic branches genuinely covered — known scoverage gap documented in docs/unresolved.md (FastParse inline
   macro generates synthetic proxy methods that scoverage instruments but that never execute at runtime)
