Add jetc: a prototype JET-to-C++ compiler, plus the Tag API it needed
jetc (JetCore/jetc/) compiles a subset of JET template syntax - literal text, $[...]/#[...] variable output, <set>, <if>/<else>, <for>, <while> - into a standalone C++ program that links against CoreUtils and the same JetCore tag-class library jet-2.0 itself uses. The static tag/text structure becomes real C++ control flow (if/for/while), resolved once at build time instead of being re-scanned character-by-character from raw source on every request and, for loop bodies, on every single iteration (confirmed by reading Tag::parseContainer - it re-tokenizes its container text from scratch every time it runs, since a tag's parse and its execution are the same pass in this codebase). Anything genuinely dynamic - variable values, expr/value comparisons, loop bounds - still calls into the existing runtime (Tag::getVariable/resolveKeyword, jet::Operand) exactly as the interpreter does; compiling doesn't try to eliminate that; only the repeated re-parsing of the template's own shape. A <if type="..."> or <while type="..."> comparison type is resolved to its C++ operator once at compile time (type is a literal attribute value in practice, not runtime data) instead of being re-checked against six string constants on every evaluation. Any tag jetc doesn't have a codegen rule for (mysql, sql, call, include, a <set> with a container body, etc.) is captured as its exact raw source span and handed to the existing interpreter at compiled-program runtime via the new Tag::interpretSpan(), so an unsupported construct degrades gracefully instead of failing to compile - a real, if narrower, program rather than requiring full tag coverage up front. Tag.h/.cpp: made assignVariable public (parallel to the already-public getVariable - generated code needs a write path without being a Tag subclass) and added interpretSpan() as the fallback's entry point into parseContainer. Verified live: two representative templates (jetc/demo.jet, an if/for/set walkthrough; jetc/demo2.jet, a nested <if> inside a <for>, a <while> that mutates and rereads its own condition variable across iterations, and a fallback-interpreted <comment> tag) both compile, link, run standalone, and produce byte-identical output to jet-2.0 running the same source. Building and running jetc/demo2.jet's <while> loop surfaced a real, previously-unknown MString bug (fixed separately, see CoreUtils commit 6e4e463) along with a separate, already-existing bug in __while.cpp's value1/value2/type form (unrelated to this compiler, not fixed here - see project memory). jetc/build-compiled.sh builds the compiler and a given .jet file's compiled binary in one step; jetc/demo.jet and demo2.jet are kept as worked examples. Known limitations: <set> with a container body isn't modeled (falls back to interpretation); a fallback-interpreted tag nested inside compiled control flow uses the template's single top-level scope for parent/local context rather than a faithful per-level chain, which only matters for legacy tags that rely on nested "local" scoping.
