breaking: add structured prelude property to AT_RULE and STYLE_RULE (#110)

breaking: add structured prelude property to AT_RULE and STYLE_RULE

  BREAKING CHANGES:

  1. AT_RULE.prelude now returns CSSNode|null instead of string
- Returns AT_RULE_PRELUDE wrapper node containing structured children
     - Access text with .prelude?.text instead of .prelude
     - Raw string still available via .value
- Returns null for at-rules without structured parsing (@charset,
@namespace)

  2. STYLE_RULE.prelude now returns the selector list (CSSNode|null)
     - Returns first child (SELECTOR_LIST node)
     - Access selector text with .prelude?.text
     - Enables walking/traversing selector structure

  Changes:
- Added AT_RULE_PRELUDE (40) node type for wrapping at-rule prelude
children
  - Updated prelude getter to support AT_RULE and STYLE_RULE
- Updated has_prelude getter to support AT_RULE, STYLE_RULE, and
DECLARATION
  - Parser now wraps parsed prelude nodes in AT_RULE_PRELUDE wrapper
  - Removed backwards compatibility code from clone()
  - Updated all tests to use .prelude?.text instead of .prelude
  - Updated CLAUDE.md documentation

  Aligns with CSSTree API for better interoperability.
