Fix compiler output equivalence and add comprehensive tests

- Fix forloop.first/last/size lookups to try hash key before method call
- Fix tablerow cols parameter to use attributes['cols'] not @cols
- Fix tablerow output format to match interpreter (newlines, row boundaries)
- Fix capture compiler to access @body directly instead of iterating nodelist
- Add CompiledTemplate class to encapsulate code and external_tags
- Add external filter support via filter_handler
- Add debug mode warnings for external tag/filter calls
- Add Ruby 3.3 compatibility shim for peek_byte/scan_byte
- Add comprehensive unit tests for output equivalence
- Add benchmark comparing compiled vs interpreted rendering

All 30 test templates now produce identical output between compiled
Ruby and interpreted Liquid. Pre-compiled Ruby is 1.68x faster.
