compiler: separate library for runtime

Pull request overview

This PR restructures daScript’s build to separate a runtime-only library from the compiler library, moving compiler-only functionality (parsing/type inference/optimization/AST builtins) out of the runtime binary and updating exported APIs, tests, tutorials, and docs accordingly.

Changes:

• Split build outputs into libDaScript_runtime (runtime) and libDaScript/libDaScriptDyn (compiler), relocating parser/formatter/infer/optimize/AST builtins into the compiler library.
• Move “compile-from-source” builtins (compile, compile_file, make_file_access) from rtti_core into ast_core, and update .das tests/tutorials to require daslib/ast instead of daslib/rtti.
• Adjust symbol visibility/export macros (DAS_API vs DAS_CC_API) and update various headers/functions for cross-library linking.
