feat(desktop): add buzz-terminal engine crate

Scaffolds the terminal emulator behind the Buzz substrate: grid state, the
parser and its two hardening fences, the closed listener set, and the damage
encoding the renderer will consume. No PTY, no child process, no window --
those belong to the embedder, so this crate stays testable against byte
fixtures on every platform.

Three things ship together because each is load-bearing for the others:

* The crate itself.

* The explicit `members` key in the workspace manifest. With a bare
  `[workspace]`, `cargo test/check --workspace` expands to a set that
  excludes this crate, and its gates pass green-and-empty over a real
  defect. Verified as a four-arm matrix on this repo.

* A file-size ratchet rule for `src-tauri/crates`. The ratchet's only Rust
  root was `src-tauri/src`, so the crate would be born outside the repo's
  one size discipline -- silently, since the check exits 0. Verified: a
  1500-line file under `crates/` passes without the rule and fails with it,
  while the real crate passes.

Two fences, both enforced on byte counts rather than a clock, because a
clock makes the bound depend on machine speed:

* F1 aborts a synchronized update once it buffers 64 KiB.
* F2 rebuilds the parser once 256 KiB of parser-visible bytes are charged.

F1 turned out to be dual-purpose. Measured under a flood, the reader's lock
hold is p50 1 us while the renderer's *wait* for the same lock is p50
4245 us -- so the plan's original "reader hold under one frame" requirement
passes trivially while the window is visibly stuck. The gate is now the
renderer's acquire latency, and F1 is what holds it down: p95 127 us with
the fence, 16383 us without.

That gate also needs a fair lock. `std::sync::Mutex` lets the read loop
barge, and the renderer completed 12 frames to the reader's 39893
acquisitions; `FairMutex` under the same flood gives 76 and 63 us.

Six fixtures, each shown failing under the mutation it exists to catch:
deleting F1, deleting F2, omitting flush accounting, charging raw input,
and swapping the fair lock for a barging one.
