feat: JSON/JSONB validation, multi-column indexes, CTE execution, wire protocol column types

- Add fkJson to wire protocol with serialization/deserialization
- Validate JSON/JSONB on INSERT/UPDATE via std/json
- Send real column type metadata in wire protocol responses
- Update all 4 clients (Nim, Python, JS, Rust) for JSON and columnTypes
- Implement multi-column index parser (CREATE INDEX idx ON t(a, b))
- Add ciColumns to AST nkCreateIndex
- Build composite index keys as table.col1.col2 with val1|val2
- Support multi-column exact match in SELECT for AND chains
- Implement non-recursive CTE execution via ctx.cteTables materialization
- Add tkRecursive token and parse WITH RECURSIVE
- Fix test isolation: use temp dirs for JOIN, migration, and RLS tests
- All tests passing (0 failures)
