Add hierarchical canonical reaction signature (R-string)

Inspired by Leber thesis (Dugundji-Ugi model canonicalization):
- ReactionResult.getReactionSignature() returns canonical R-string
  Format: FC[bond;patterns]|OC[order;changes]|SC[stereo]|RC[centre]
- Deterministic, invariant, searchable — identical reactions produce
  identical signatures regardless of input atom ordering
- Enables database storage and similarity search across reactions
- 143 tests pass (8 new API tests total)
