feat(parsing): full encoding support (UTF-32, ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252)

Decode UTF-32 (both byte orders, BOM or sniffed) and the single-byte encodings
ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252, selected by the XML declaration's encoding name,
in addition to UTF-8 and UTF-16. The streaming byte path also handles UTF-32.
Standard library only, no Foundation. Closes #28. Reimplemented from the
documented encoding algorithms; no upstream code copied. 4 tests; 94 total.

### Added
- Full encoding support. Byte input now decodes UTF-32 (both byte orders, BOM or
sniffed) and the single-byte encodings ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 selected by
the XML declaration's `encoding` name, in addition to UTF-8 and UTF-16. The
streaming byte path also decodes UTF-32. Standard library only, no Foundation.
- Incremental XML writer (`PureXML.Emitting.Writer`, the libxml2 `xmlTextWriter`
model): emit a document with start/end and write calls without building a tree.
Escaping matches the tree serializer (extracted into a shared `Escaping` helper),
