fix: implement proper serde handling for unknown AST node types (#280)

## Problem

The `NodeType` enum had an `Other(String)` variant intended to catch unknown
AST node types, but it wasn't working correctly. The issue was that serde's
default enum serialization uses tagged format (e.g., `{"Other": "UnknownType"}`),
but Solidity AST serializes node types as simple strings (e.g., `"UnknownType"`).

When encountering an unknown node type like `"SomeNewNodeType"`, the deserializer
would fail instead of falling back to the `Other` variant.

## Solution

Implemented custom `Serialize` and `Deserialize` traits for `NodeType`:

- **Custom serialization**: All variants serialize as simple strings
- **Custom deserialization**: Known strings map to specific variants, unknown
  strings map to `Other(String)`
- **Backwards compatibility**: All existing functionality remains unchanged

## Testing

Added comprehensive tests covering:
- Unknown node type deserialization → `Other` variant
- Known node type deserialization (unchanged behavior)
- Roundtrip serialization for all node types
- Complete AST parsing with unknown node types
- Mixed known/unknown node structures

This ensures the library can handle future Solidity compiler versions that
introduce new AST node types without breaking existing code.

Closes #280
