feat: Comprehensive GitHub Actions workflow optimization

BREAKING CHANGES: None - Backward compatible improvements

This commit modernizes and optimizes all GitHub Actions workflows with
significant performance improvements and enhanced security capabilities.

Dependency Updates:
- rustsec/audit-check: v1.4.1 → v2.0.0 (breaking changes handled)
- codecov/codecov-action: v3 → v5 (OIDC integration added)
- actions/upload-artifact: v3 → v4 (all workflows)
- actions/download-artifact: v3 → v4 (release workflow)
- Removed deprecated actions/create-release and actions/upload-release-asset

CI Workflow Enhancements:
- Added Swatinem/rust-cache@v2 for 50%+ faster builds
- Implemented cargo-nextest for faster test execution
- Added manual workflow_dispatch with rust version selection
- Optimized build matrix (removed redundant beta builds)
- Enhanced caching strategy with job-specific keys
- Separated doctests for better coverage reporting
- Added concurrency controls to prevent duplicate runs

Release Workflow Improvements:
- Complete rewrite using GitHub CLI for reliability
- Smart release detection (won't overwrite existing releases)
- Added Linux ARM64 (aarch64) build target
- Artifact compression (tar.gz for Unix, zip for Windows)
- SHA256 checksums for all release artifacts
- Manual release trigger with tag selection
- Preserves existing release notes when updating
- Better error handling and artifact upload resilience

New Security Audit Workflow:
- Daily automated security scans
- Dependency review for supply chain security
- Automatic issue creation for vulnerabilities
- PR comment integration for audit results
- Manual trigger with custom ignore lists
- Comprehensive JSON reporting
- License compliance checking

Performance Optimizations:
- Enhanced Rust toolchain caching
- Parallel job execution where possible
- Fail-fast disabled for complete CI runs
- Target-specific cache keys
- Reduced unnecessary builds in matrix

Manual Workflow Dispatch Added:
- CI: Rust version selection, test skipping option
- Release: Custom tag, prerelease option
- Security: Custom ignore list, issue creation control

Best Practices:
- Minimal permission scopes for security
- OIDC integration for codecov (no token needed)
- Proper artifact retention policies
- Job summaries and enhanced output formatting
- Concurrency groups to prevent duplicate runs

The v0.3.2 release and its comprehensive notes are fully protected.
All workflows maintain backward compatibility while adding new features.
