Complete code quality enhancements: add language specifiers to all code blocks (#49)

This commit addresses Priority 3.3 from BOOK_ENHANCEMENT_SUGGESTIONS.md by
completing comprehensive code quality improvements across the entire book.

## Changes

### Code Block Language Specifiers (Priority 3.3)
- Fixed 216 code blocks missing language specifiers across 26 files
- Total of 565 code blocks now properly tagged (100% coverage)
- Language distribution:
  - Rust: 381 blocks (67.4%)
  - Bash: 73 blocks (12.9%)
  - Text: 37 blocks (6.5%)
  - TOML: 30 blocks (5.3%)
  - Python: 23 blocks (4.1%)
  - YAML: 6 blocks (1.1%)
  - SQL: 4 blocks (0.7%)
  - Other: 11 blocks (1.9%)

### Files Modified
- All chapters (1-16) updated with proper code block formatting
- All appendices (A-H) updated with proper code block formatting
- Front matter and README files updated

### Quality Improvements
- Enabled syntax highlighting for all code examples
- Improved compatibility with mdBook, GitBook, and documentation tools
- Verified all cross-references are valid
- Confirmed no broken TODO/FIXME markers in documentation text
- Professional formatting throughout meets publication standards

### Documentation Updates
- Updated BOOK_ENHANCEMENT_SUGGESTIONS.md with progress
- Marked Priority 3.3 (Formatting Consistency) as COMPLETED
- Added Code Quality Enhancement Session section documenting improvements

## Impact
- Book formatting now meets professional publication standards
- All written content and formatting publication-ready
- Remaining work: visual assets (40-80 hours) and index (5-8 hours)

+- **Achievements:**
+  - All cross-references between chapters verified and working
+  - All appendix references verified
+  - Code examples use appropriate placeholders with explanatory comments
+  - Professional formatting throughout
+
+### Impact (Code Quality Enhancement Session)
