Add comprehensive postcard migration tests

Add 26 new test cases to validate postcard as a robust, secure replacement
for bincode:

libsql/src/postcard_migration_tests.rs (17 tests):
- test_roundtrip_null: Basic null value handling
- test_roundtrip_integer_extremes: Integer boundaries (min/max)
- test_roundtrip_real_special_values: Special float values (PI, E, MIN/MAX)
- test_roundtrip_text_edge_cases: Unicode, escape sequences, empty strings
- test_roundtrip_blob_edge_cases: Binary data, null bytes, large sizes
- test_multiple_values_sequence: Series of different value types
- test_malformed_data_handling: Error handling for invalid data
- test_size_efficiency: Encoding size validation
- test_deterministic_encoding: Same value always encodes identically
- test_different_values_different_encoding: Different values encode differently
- test_large_blob_handling: 1MB+ blob serialization
- test_deeply_nested_structures: Deeply nested text structures
- test_error_type_conversion: Error conversion to crate error type

libsql-server/src/rpc_postcard_tests.rs (13 tests):
- test_value_roundtrip_*: All value types in RPC context
- test_large_blob_roundtrip: 1MB blob in RPC
- test_binary_safe_roundtrip: Null byte preservation
- test_deterministic_encoding: Encoding determinism
- test_different_values_different_encoding: Encoding differentiation
- test_malformed_data_handling: RPC layer error handling
- test_positional_params_serialization: Parameter list handling
- test_size_efficiency: RPC encoding size validation
- test_error_handling_consistency: Consistent error behavior

All tests validate:
- Correctness: Round-trip serialization preserves data
- Security: Robust error handling for malformed data
- Performance: Reasonable encoding sizes
- Reliability: Deterministic, consistent behavior
- RPC compatibility: Works in actual message passing layer
