Add `byteAt(index)`, `codePointAt(index)`, and `bytes` sequence to String,
enabling direct byte-level manipulation of UTF-8 encoded strings. Introduce
`\x` hex escape sequence in string literals for specifying raw byte values.
Refactor Unicode escape parsing into a generic `readHexEscape` function
supporting variable digit counts. Implement `wrenUtf8Decode` utility for
decoding UTF-8 sequences from byte buffers. Add comprehensive tests for
`byteAt` including boundary conditions and error cases.
Implement the `String.fromCodePoint(_)` primitive that creates a string from a Unicode code point, with validation for integer range 0–0x10ffff. Extract inline UTF-8 encoding logic from `readUnicodeEscape` in the compiler into new `wrenUtf8NumBytes` and `wrenUtf8Encode` utility functions in `wren_utils`, and add `wrenStringFromCodePoint` helper in `wren_value`. Update documentation for core classes to add "Methods" and "Static Methods" section headers, and include `String.fromCodePoint` docs with example. Add a test file `from_code_point.wren` covering various code points.
Add String as a subclass of Sequence in core.wren and implement the iterator protocol for strings in wren_core.c. The string_iterate native advances through UTF-8 code point boundaries, while string_iteratorValue extracts the full code point at a given byte index. Includes comprehensive test coverage for iteration, edge cases (empty strings, mid-sequence positions), and error handling for invalid iterator types and out-of-bounds indices. Also updates documentation for String, List, and Sequence classes with iterator protocol details and usage examples.
