Add Liquid::Box for secure sandboxed template execution

Introduces Liquid::Box which wraps Ruby 4.0's Ruby::Box for secure
template execution. On Ruby < 4.0, provides a polyfill with security
warnings.

Key features:
- Detects Ruby::Box availability at load time
- Loads safe libraries (CGI, Base64, BigDecimal) into sandbox
- Neuters dangerous methods (file IO, process control, eval, etc.)
- Preserves user constants defined before lock!
- Provides setup_gem_load_paths! to enable gem requires in box

Security model: It is safe to expose side-effect-free, non-IO methods
that don't leak objects with dangerous methods. The sandbox blocks
capabilities, not data.

+# Liquid::Box - Secure sandboxed execution environment for compiled Liquid templates
+#
+# On Ruby 4.0+, this uses the native Ruby::Box for true isolation.
+# On earlier Ruby versions, this provides a polyfill that WARNS about insecurity.
+#
+# == SECURITY WARNING
+#
+# The polyfill on Ruby < 4.0 provides NO REAL SECURITY. It's a compatibility shim
+# that allows code to run, but malicious templates could potentially escape.
+# Use Ruby 4.0+ in production for actual sandboxing.
+#
+# == Usage
+#
+#   template = Liquid::Template.parse("Hello {{ name }}!")
+#   compiled = template.compile_to_ruby
+#
+#   # compiled is a Liquid::CompiledTemplate which wraps a Box
+#   result = compiled.render({ "name" => "World" })
+#   # => "Hello World!"

+#   # Access the generated Ruby code:
+#   puts compiled.source

+# Liquid Ruby Compiler
+#
+# This module provides the ability to compile Liquid templates to pure Ruby code.
+# The compiled code can be eval'd to create a proc that renders the template
+# without needing the Liquid library at runtime.
+#
+# ## Usage
+#
+#   template = Liquid::Template.parse("Hello, {{ name }}!")
+#   ruby_code = template.compile_to_ruby
+#   render_proc = eval(ruby_code)
+#   result = render_proc.call({ "name" => "World" })
+#   # => "Hello, World!"
+#
+# ## Optimization Opportunities
+#
+# The compiled Ruby code has several significant advantages over interpreted Liquid:
+#
+# 1. **No Context Object**: Variables are extracted directly from the assigns hash
+#    and accessed without the Context abstraction layer.
+#
+# 2. **No Filter Invocation Overhead**: Filters are compiled to direct Ruby method
+#    calls rather than going through context.invoke().
+#
+# 3. **No Resource Limits Tracking**: The compiled code doesn't track render
+#    scores, write scores, or assign scores, eliminating per-node overhead.
+#
+# 4. **No Stack-based Scoping**: Ruby's native block scoping is used instead
+#    of manually managing scope stacks.
+#
+# 5. **Direct String Concatenation**: Output is built with direct << operations.
+#
+# 6. **Native Control Flow**: break/continue use Ruby's throw/catch mechanism.
+#
+# 7. **No to_liquid Calls**: Values are used directly without conversion.
+#
+# 8. **No Profiling Hooks**: No profiler overhead in the generated code.
+#
+# 9. **No Exception Rendering**: Errors propagate naturally.
+#
+# ## Limitations
+#
+# - {% render %} and {% include %} tags require runtime support
+# - Custom tags need explicit compiler implementations
+# - Custom filters need to be available at runtime

+module Liquid
+  module Compile
+    # RubyCompiler transforms a parsed Liquid template into pure Ruby code.
+    #
+    # The compiled code is a string that can be eval'd to create a proc/lambda
+    # that takes an assigns hash and returns the rendered output string.
+    #
+    # ## Optimization Opportunities
+    #
+    # The compiled Ruby code has several significant advantages over interpreted Liquid:
+    #
+    # 1. **No Context Object**: Instead of using a Context for variable lookups,
+    #    variables are extracted directly from the assigns hash and stored in
+    #    local Ruby variables. This eliminates hash lookups on every access.
+    #
+    # 2. **No Filter Invocation Overhead**: Filters are compiled to direct Ruby
+    #    method calls rather than going through context.invoke().
+    #
+    # 3. **No Resource Limits Tracking**: The compiled code doesn't track render
+    #    scores, write scores, or assign scores, eliminating per-node overhead.
+    #
+    # 4. **No Stack-based Scoping**: Ruby's native block scoping is used instead
+    #    of manually managing scope stacks with push/pop operations.
+    #
+    # 5. **Direct String Concatenation**: Output is built with direct << operations
+    #    rather than through render_to_output_buffer abstractions.
+    #
+    # 6. **Native Control Flow**: break/continue become Ruby's break/next,
+    #    eliminating interrupt objects and checks.
+    #
+    # 7. **No to_liquid Calls**: Values are used directly without conversion.
+    #
+    # 8. **Potential for Constant Folding**: Expressions with only literals
+    #    could be evaluated at compile time (future enhancement).
+    #
+    # 9. **Potential for Dead Code Elimination**: Unreachable branches like
+    #    `{% if false %}` could be removed (future enhancement).
+    #
+    # 10. **No Profiling Hooks**: No profiler overhead in the generated code.
+    #
+    # 11. **No Exception Rendering**: Errors propagate naturally rather than
+    #     being caught and rendered inline.
+    #
+    # ## Usage

+    #   ruby_code = template.compile_to_ruby
+    #   render_proc = eval(ruby_code)
