feat: complete Issue #150 - Advanced Packaging Features (.mdz, .mdt)
Implement comprehensive advanced packaging system using complete TDD8 methodology:

## Core Features Delivered
- **MDZ Format**: Self-contained ZIP packages with embedded assets and metadata
- **Transclusion Engine**: Dynamic content inclusion with variables and conditionals
- **Asset Management**: Automated discovery, integrity validation, and path rewriting
- **Variant Integration**: Seamless integration with existing explode-implode system

## Technical Implementation
- **53 comprehensive tests** with 100% coverage for new functionality
- **Circular import resolution** using lazy loading pattern in variant factory
- **Cross-platform compatibility** with proper path handling
- **Robust error handling** with specialized exception hierarchy

## Quality Assurance
-  All 1798 tests passing (100% system compatibility maintained)
-  Complete documentation (user guide + API reference)
-  Working demonstration script showcasing all features
-  Zero breaking changes to existing functionality

## Files Added/Modified
- **Core Implementation**: 17 new files (4,149+ lines)
- **Documentation**: Complete user and API documentation
- **Tests**: 53 new tests across 3 test modules
- **Integration**: Enhanced variant factory with MDZ support

Built on solid foundation from Issues #148-149. Production-ready with
comprehensive test coverage and full backward compatibility.
