Add a customizable file reader callback to ChaiScript_Basic, following
the same pattern as set_print_handler. When set, the callback is invoked
instead of the default filesystem read, enabling use cases like encrypted
files, in-memory virtual filesystems, or platform-specific file access
(e.g., Android assets). The callback is settable from both C++ and
ChaiScript.

* Fix#552: Support nested namespaces via dotted names
Namespaces can now be nested using dotted name syntax, both from C++
(register_namespace(gen, "constants.si")) and from script
(namespace("constants.si")). Parent namespaces are auto-registered when
absent, and child namespaces are automatically nested into their parent
on import. This allows clean hierarchical organization like
constants.si.mu_B instead of flat names like constants_si.

* Address review: use :: instead of . as nested namespace separator
Switch from dotted names (e.g. "constants.si") to C++-style ::
separator (e.g. "constants::si") for nested namespace declarations,
both in the C++ API (register_namespace) and in script (namespace()).
The original implementation used . because namespace members are
accessed via dot notation at runtime (constants.si.mu_B), making the
declaration separator match the access syntax. However, :: is more
consistent with C++ namespace conventions and aligns with ChaiScript's
existing use of :: for method (def Class::method) and attribute
(attr Class::attr) declarations.
Member access in scripts remains dot-based (constants.si.mu_B) since
that is ChaiScript's member access operator.

* Address review: C++-style namespace scoping and block declarations
Add :: scope resolution operator for member access (ns::func works
like ns.func). Add block namespace declarations:
namespace x::y { def func() { ... } }
Functions and variables declared inside a namespace block are added
as members of the namespace, accessible via :: or dot notation.
Namespaces can be reopened to add more members, matching C++ behavior.

* Address review: extract shared make_proxy_function from Def_AST_Node
Namespace_Block_AST_Node was duplicating the entire proxy function
creation logic from Def_AST_Node::eval_internal. Extract a static
make_proxy_function helper so both nodes share the same code path,
eliminating fragile duplication that would drift if Def handling changes.

* Address review: reject non-declaration statements inside namespace blocks
Only def, var, auto, and global declarations are now allowed inside
namespace { } blocks. Arbitrary expressions, assignments, and function
calls are rejected with an eval_error. Added compiled tests verifying
that expressions, function calls, and assignments are rejected.

* Address review: remove -j parameter from unix builds
Ninja handles parallelism intelligently on its own; the explicit -j flag
was causing memory pressure on sanitizer builds. Windows (non-Ninja)
build retains -j.

* Fix#571: Add per-instance IO redirection via set_print_handler/set_println_handler
The print_string and println_string functions were previously registered as static
functions writing directly to stdout, making it impossible to redirect ChaiScript
output to custom destinations (e.g., GUI windows, loggers, or buffers). This moves
their registration from Bootstrap::bootstrap() to ChaiScript_Basic::build_eval_system()
as lambdas that dispatch through configurable std::function handlers, allowing each
ChaiScript instance to independently redirect its output via set_print_handler() and
set_println_handler().

* Address review: define println in terms of print, expose set_print_handler to ChaiScript
Remove separate println_handler — println_string now dispatches through the
single print handler with a newline appended. Only set_print_handler is
needed to redirect all output. The set_print_handler function is also
registered in the ChaiScript engine, so scripts can capture and redirect
their own output.

* Address review: populate null print handler when No_IO is set
When No_IO is active, the default m_print_handler is now a no-op instead
of writing to stdout. The stdout handler is only installed when No_IO is
not set. Users can still override the handler via set_print_handler()
even with No_IO enabled.

* Fix#655: Join async threads before engine destruction to prevent heap-use-after-free
Issues #632 and #636 (PRs #651 and #653) both stem from the same root cause: async
threads spawned via async() can outlive the Dispatch_Engine, accessing shared state
(global objects map, type maps) after it has been destroyed. The fix moves async()
registration from the stdlib module into ChaiScript_Basic, where spawned threads are
tracked via Dispatch_Engine. The engine's destructor now joins all outstanding async
threads before destroying shared data structures.

* Fix#256: Expose get_function_objects() and get_scripting_objects() in public API
The ChaiScript_Basic public API only exposed get_locals() for inspecting
runtime state from C++, requiring users to work around this via
chai.eval("get_functions()") to access function objects. Added
get_function_objects() and get_scripting_objects() as public methods on
ChaiScript_Basic, delegating to the existing Dispatch_Engine methods,
matching the pattern already used by get_locals().

ChaiScript inherits from ChaiScript_Basic, so this is good practice.
I also need to be able to inherit from ChaiScript and dynamic cast, which is impossible without this destructor.
I initially tried to use the existing .clang-format file,
but it does not match the code style (at least with clang-format 11)
and the formatting is not consistent across files.
Therefore, I decided to rewrite the .clang-format with some personal
preferences.
Used command
find . -iname "*.hpp" -o -iname "*.cpp" | xargs clang-format -i -style=file
There are two warnings when compiling with GCC 7.4.1 or clang 5.0.1.
1. warning: explicit by-copy capture of ‘this’ redundant with by-copy capture default
2. warning: typedef ... locally defined but not used [-Wunused-local-typedefs]
This change removes [2] and it compacts the lambda capture clause in [1].
This modifies no logic, it simply adds the keyword `noexcept`
I believe this is 100% correct. It calls methods that are not
guaranteed to be `noexcept`, such as `operator[]` but have
no logically way of throwing.
