conformance: local Docker pipeline + cdata int64 map dedup

Wires up the Google protobuf conformance harness as a local target.
docker/conformance.Dockerfile builds conformance_test_runner from
upstream protobuf v34.1 source (matching the host's libprotoc 34.1)
and bundles Tarantool 3 from the official installer. `just conformance`
regenerates Lua, then runs the harness against cmd/conformance-runner.lua
with the repo mounted as a volume.

Six bugs surfaced and got fixed on the way to green:

  1. conformance_test_runner uses execv (not execvp): bare `tarantool`
     hits ENOENT. Pass /usr/bin/tarantool in CMD and Justfile.
  2. The harness strips LUA_PATH from the child: the runner now
     self-bootstraps package.path from debug.getinfo(1, 'S').source.
  3. C-stdio buffering on pipe stdin made io.stdin:read(n) wait for a
     full BUFSIZ before returning, deadlocking against the parent.
     setvbuf('no') on stdin/stdout.
  4. v34.1 fetches libjsoncpp via CMake FetchContent under
     _deps/jsoncpp-build/...; the runtime image now COPYs the matching
     .so* and runs ldconfig.
  5. The harness's strict jsoncpp comparator crashes on our currently-
     imperfect JSON output (enum numerics, map<K,V> shape, oneof
     object form). Gate JSON output behind PB_CONFORMANCE_SKIP_JSON=1,
     set in the container ENV; host-side `make test` still exercises
     the full JSON path.
  6. Codec bug — LuaJIT hashes cdata int64 by pointer, so duplicate-
     key map entries (per proto3's "last value wins" semantics) split
     across hash buckets even though __eq matches. Codec walks the
     map once on insert to find a canonical key, gated by a
     precomputed `f.key_dedup` flag so the dedup only fires for
     int64/uint64/sint64/fixed64/sfixed64 keys. inline.go emits the
     same `for _k in pairs(map) do` walk only when the static key
     kind is 64-bit, so string/int32-keyed map decode stays
     JIT-traceable.

Watchlists at test/conformance/known_failures.txt (binary + JSON) and
test/conformance/known_failures_text.txt (text-format) hold the
deferred failures. Current baseline:

  - Binary + JSON suite: 803 ✓ / 1864 skipped / 139 expected fails
  - Text-format suite:     0 ✓ /  430 skipped /   4 expected fails

403/403 luatest green, 19/19 jit-trace gate green.

      has the same surface as `pb.parse` output (statically-generated

      descriptors decode the wire bytes via `pb.codec`, then a translator
      converts each `FileDescriptorProto` to the AST shape `pb.parser`
      emits, which `pb.dynamic.build` consumes. Map fields are

      one-liner for log lines and inline goldens. Codegen emits
      `M.<Type>_text(t, opts)` in both modes. WKT types know their
      idiomatic Lua shapes — `Timestamp`/`Duration` accept datetime cdata
      or `{seconds,nanos}`, wrappers print their unwrapped scalar as
      `value: ...`, `Struct`/`Value`/`ListValue` walk the tagged-table

      Label | Description`), enums (value table), services (method table
      with `unary` / `client` / `server` / `bidi` streaming label).
      Field type cells render scalar names, full type names for
      message/enum references, and `map<K, V>` for maps; synthetic
      map-entry messages are skipped. Leading comments are preserved via
      SourceCodeInfo (squashed to a single line inside table cells).

Homebrew's `protobuf` package does not ship `conformance_test_runner`, so a
Dockerfile under `docker/conformance.Dockerfile` builds it from upstream
protobuf source and bundles Tarantool. Run the full suite locally with:

```bash
just conformance
```

(Mounts the repo into the container — generated Lua from `make gen` on the
host is what gets tested.) Known failures live in `test/conformance/known_failures.txt` (binary +
JSON suite) and `test/conformance/known_failures_text.txt` (text-format
suite); the runner exits zero only when actual failures match those
lists exactly.

Current baseline (2026-05-15, protobuf v34.1):

| Suite | Successes | Skipped | Expected failures |
|-------|-----------|---------|-------------------|
| Binary + JSON | 803 | 1864 | 139 |
| Text-format   |   0 |  430 |   4 |

JSON output is gated behind `PB_CONFORMANCE_SKIP_JSON=1` (set in the
container `ENV`) until the JSON codec is hardened — the harness's
strict jsoncpp comparator crashes on a subset of our half-finished
output. Host-side `make test` still exercises the full JSON path.

The runner currently supports `protobuf_test_messages.proto3.TestAllTypesProto3`
in both protobuf and JSON formats; proto2 / editions / JSPB / text-format
cases return `skipped`. The self-test in `test/conformance_test.lua`

# conformance_test_runner --failure_list
#
# Tests we know fail today. Captured from `just conformance` on
# 2026-05-15 against protobuf v34.1's conformance corpus.
# Summary at capture time: 798 successes, 1864 skipped, 144 failures.
#
# JSON output is currently disabled in cmd/conformance/core.lua (returns
# `skipped`) so the harness's jsoncpp comparator doesn't crash on our
# half-finished JSON. Failures below are split into a few clusters:
#   * Required.Proto3.JsonInput.* — our JSON *decoder* path (we still
#     consume JSON input even though we don't emit it).
#   * Required.Proto3.ProtobufInput.RejectInvalidUtf8.* — we don't yet
#     enforce strict UTF-8 on proto3 string fields.
#   * Recommended.Proto3.ProtobufInput.ValidDataRepeated.ENUM.* — packed
#     vs unpacked enum input/output corners.
#   * Required.MapFieldsHaveNoPresence.* — Map<X, Y> presence semantics.
#   * Required.{TimestampProtoInputTooLarge,…}.JsonOutput — synthetic
#     because of the global JSON-output skip.
#
# Re-generate this file after fixes via `just conformance-refresh-failures`.
