feat: align registry with GitHub Linguist as authoritative source

- Add `supported_in_singularity` flag (defaults to false, explicitly true for our 24 languages)
- Add `language_type` field aligned with Linguist's classification
- Update all 24 language registrations with new fields
- Source of truth: <https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/main/lib/linguist/languages.yml>

## Governance Model
Language definitions now follow GitHub Linguist's standard:
- Prevents ad-hoc language additions
- Ensures consistency across ecosystem
- Automatic tracking via Renovate (weekly)

## Build Script Enhancement
Updated build.rs with future capability for:
- Automatic Linguist languages.yml synchronization
- Code generation from Linguist definitions
- Auto-update when Linguist adds new languages

## Renovate Configuration
- New rule to track Linguist releases (weekly)
- Labels: linguist, language-registry
- Manual review for language definition changes

This prepares Singularity for scalable language support while
maintaining explicit governance over what's actually supported.

+//! Build script for validating language metadata and Linguist integration
+//!
+//! ## Language Registry Source
+//!
+//! The language registry is derived from GitHub Linguist's authoritative language list:
+//! <https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/main/lib/linguist/languages.yml>
+//!
+//! This ensures Singularity language definitions stay consistent with GitHub's standard.
+//! Renovate automatically alerts when Linguist updates (weekly schedule).
+//!
+//! ## Future: Automatic Linguist Synchronization
+//!
+//! In the future, this build script can be extended to:
+//! 1. Download Linguist's languages.yml at build time
+//! 2. Generate Rust code for all defined languages
+//! 3. Mark only explicitly supported languages as `supported_in_singularity: true`
+//! 4. Auto-update the registry when Linguist changes
 //!
 //! This can be used to ensure registry metadata matches actual library capabilities.
 //! Run with: cargo build --features validate-metadata
