Simplify example run.rs files to use dora_cli build and run functions (dora-rs#1165)

This commit standardizes all example run.rs files to use the
`dora_cli::build` and `dora_cli::run` functions directly instead of
spawning cargo commands with tokio::process::Command. This
simplification:

- Removes custom `build_dataflow` and `run_dataflow` helper functions
- Uses `dora_cli::{build, run}` API directly
- Standardizes error messages for tracing setup to use
`.wrap_err("failed to set up tracing subscriber")`
- Reduces code duplication across all examples
- Makes the codebase more maintainable

Modified examples:
- All Rust examples (rust-dataflow, rust-dataflow-git,
rust-dataflow-url, rust-ros2-dataflow)
- All C/C++ examples (c-dataflow, c++-dataflow, c++-arrow-dataflow,
c++-ros2-dataflow, cmake-dataflow)
- All Python examples (python-dataflow, python-operator-dataflow,
python-ros2-dataflow)
- Benchmark example

Total reduction: 289 lines of boilerplate code removed.
