feat(cli): comprehensive build system adopters - Maven, Gradle, Bazel, and Node.js

[rjwalters]

Summary

Comprehensive build system adoption suite for the Elide CLI, enabling seamless migration from Maven, Gradle, Bazel, and Node.js projects to Elide's PKL-based configuration format.

This PR introduces four production-ready elide adopt subcommands that convert real-world projects to Elide without requiring prior builds, with extensive support for advanced build system features including multi-module projects, version catalogs, workspace configurations, and remote dependency resolution.

🎯 Overview

elide adopt <build-system> [OPTIONS]

Available adopters:
  maven    Convert Maven pom.xml to elide.pkl
  gradle   Convert Gradle build files to elide.pkl  
  bazel    Convert Bazel WORKSPACE/BUILD to elide.pkl
  node     Convert Node.js package.json to elide.pkl
