fix: Resolve clippy warnings across rustyasn crate

Systematically addressed clippy warnings through concurrent agent work:

## Build Script Fixes (build.rs)
- Add #[allow(dead_code)] for future-use fields: constraints, string_type, module_name
- Replace unwrap() with expect() for environment variable parsing
- Rename Asn1StringType enum variants to remove common suffix

## Dead Code Suppression
- Add #[allow(dead_code)] to ErrorContext trait (future utility)
- Add #[allow(dead_code)] to unused tracing metric fields (fastrace integration pending)

## Decoder Improvements (decoder.rs)
- Add comprehensive # Errors documentation for all Result-returning functions
- Replace unsafe type casts with checked try_from conversions
- Convert unused-self methods to associated functions

## Encoder Optimizations (encoder.rs)
- Combine identical match arms for FixFieldValue string field types
- Convert single match to if let pattern
- Convert unused-self methods to associated functions
- Remove unnecessary Result wrapper from add_message_fields
- Add missing # Errors documentation sections
- Move COMMON_FIELD_TAGS to module level
- Fix documentation formatting with backticks
- Remove underscore prefix from used binding

## Test Code Cleanup
- Replace unwrap()/expect() with proper error handling in integration tests
- Convert test functions to return Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>
- Maintain test coverage while satisfying clippy requirements

Performance impact: Minimal - mostly documentation and code style improvements
Compatibility: Maintains all existing functionality

 //! Build script for ASN.1 schema compilation and code generation.
+//!
+//! # Why Custom ASN.1 Parser Instead of rasn-compiler?
+//!
+//! This build script implements a custom ASN.1 parser and code generator rather than using
+//! the official `rasn-compiler` crate. This architectural decision was made due to several
+//! compatibility and maintenance considerations:
+//!
+//! ## Version Compatibility Issues
+//!
+//! The primary reason for the custom implementation is version incompatibility between
+//! `rasn-compiler` and `rasn` 0.18.x:
+//!
+//! - **rasn-compiler dependency conflicts**: The rasn-compiler crate may depend on different
+//!   versions of rasn than the 0.18.x version used in this project, causing dependency
+//!   resolution conflicts during build.
+//!
+//! - **API surface changes**: Between rasn versions, there have been breaking changes in
+//!   the generated code APIs, attribute syntax, and trait implementations that make
+//!   rasn-compiler-generated code incompatible with rasn 0.18.x.
+//!
+//! - **Build-time constraints**: Using rasn-compiler would require careful version pinning
+//!   and potentially upgrading rasn itself, which could introduce breaking changes throughout
+//!   the RustyFix codebase.
+//!
+//! ## Benefits of Custom Implementation
+//!
+//! The custom ASN.1 parser implementation provides several advantages:
+//!
+//! - **Precise control**: Generate code that exactly matches the needs of the FIX protocol
+//!   encoding requirements and integrates seamlessly with RustyFix's type system.
+//!
+//! - **Stability**: Immune to breaking changes in rasn-compiler updates, ensuring consistent
+//!   builds across different environments and over time.
+//!
+//! - **FIX-specific optimizations**: Tailored for FIX protocol message structures, field
+//!   types, and encoding patterns rather than generic ASN.1 use cases.
+//!
+//! - **Reduced dependencies**: Eliminates the need for rasn-compiler and its transitive
+//!   dependencies, reducing build complexity and potential security surface.
+//!
+//! - **Incremental implementation**: Can be extended progressively to support additional
+//!   ASN.1 features as needed by the FIX protocol without waiting for upstream changes.
+//!
+//! ## Migration Path
+//!
+//! Future migration to rasn-compiler should be considered when:
+//!
+//! - rasn-compiler achieves stable compatibility with rasn 0.18.x or later
+//! - The RustyFix project upgrades to a newer rasn version that's compatible with
+//!   the latest rasn-compiler
+//! - The maintenance burden of the custom parser becomes significant
+//!
+//! ## Implementation Details
+//!
+//! The custom parser handles:
+//! - Basic ASN.1 constructs (SEQUENCE, CHOICE, ENUMERATED, INTEGER, STRING types)
+//! - FIX-specific message type generation from dictionary metadata
+//! - Field tag enumerations and value type mappings
+//! - Integration with rasn's derive macros for encoding/decoding
+//!
+//! For complex ASN.1 schemas that require advanced features not implemented in the
+//! custom parser, the build script falls back to copying the schema files directly
+//! and emitting warnings about unsupported constructs.

+// 3. **Performance Optimizations**:
+//    - Implement parallel parsing for multiple schema files
+//    - Cache parsed ASN.1 modules to avoid re-parsing
+//    - Optimize generated code for specific FIX protocol patterns
+//
+// 4. **Better Error Handling**:
+//    - Provide line number information in parser errors
+//    - Add syntax highlighting for error messages
+//    - Implement recovery mechanisms for malformed schemas
+//
+// 5. **Validation and Testing**:
+//    - Add comprehensive test suite for ASN.1 parser
+//    - Implement roundtrip testing (parse -> generate -> parse)
+//    - Add fuzzing support for parser robustness

+// The current implementation prioritizes compatibility and stability over feature completeness.
