feat(dofs): add DOF API with type-level field specifications

New 230-line API file defining DOF system foundation:
- AbstractDOF: base type for all field specifications
- DOF{T,E}: abstract type for type-level field specs (never instantiated)
- DOFSet: type alias for multi-field specifications (currently NamedTuple)
- dof_size(): utility for counting DOF components (Float64, Vec, Tensor, etc.)
- @DOFSet macro support for clean multi-field syntax
- Comprehensive documentation with examples
- Type-level, compile-time resolved (no runtime overhead)

Provides foundation for unified multi-field DOF system.

DOF Type - Type-Level Field Specification
`DOF{T, E}` is an **abstract type** used purely for type-level field specifications.
# Philosophy
DOF types are NEVER instantiated - they exist purely at the type level to specify
field structure in a clean, readable way:
```julia
# Beautiful multi-field specification using DOFSet:
@DOFSet{
u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex},
p::DOF{Pressure, Cell}
}
```
# Usage
**Multi-field specification (preferred):**
```julia
S = @NamedTuple{
T::Tuple{Float64, Vertex},
u::Tuple{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex},
p::Tuple{Float64, Cell}
}
# Or equivalently using DOF type syntax:
(T = DOF{Float64, Vertex}, u = DOF{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex}, p = DOF{Float64, Cell})
```
**Single-field specification:**
```julia
S = @NamedTuple{u::Tuple{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex}}
# Or using DOF type:
(u = DOF{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex},)
```
# Connection to Assembly
The DOF specification `S` is a type parameter in Element:
```julia
Element{Tetrahedron{4}, Lagrange{1}, S}
```
The assembler uses `S` to:
1. Compute total DOF count: `ndofs(S, Tetrahedron{4})`
2. Extract field information: `fieldnames(S)`, `fieldtypes(S)`
3. Count DOFs per field: `field_ndofs(field_type, topology)`
4. Access element DOFs: `element.dof_indices.u`, `element.dof_indices.p`, etc.
All type-level, compile-time resolved! No runtime overhead.

dof_size(::Type{T}) → Int
Number of DOF components for a quantity type.

dof_size(Vec{3}) # 3 (3D vector)
dof_size(Tensor{2,2}) # 4 (2×2 tensor)

"""
abstract type AbstractDOF
Abstract base type for all field specifications.
# Purpose
Base type for `DOF{T,E}` which is used inside `DOFSet` specifications:
```julia
S = @DOFSet{u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}} # DOF{T,E} <: AbstractDOF
Element{K, P, S} # where S <: DOFSet
```
# Subtypes
- `DOF{T,E}`: Type-level field specifications (never instantiated)
# Interface
Subtypes should support:
- `Base.fieldnames(::Type{<:AbstractDOF})` - field names as tuple
- `ndofs(::Type{<:AbstractDOF}, ::Type{<:AbstractTopology})` - total DOF count
"""
abstract type AbstractDOF end
# ============================================================================
# DOFSet - Multi-Field DOF Specification
# ============================================================================
"""
DOFSet
Type alias for multi-field DOF specifications.
**Current implementation**: NamedTuple (but this is an implementation detail!)
Use `@DOFSet` macro to create multi-field specifications:
```julia
S = @DOFSet{T::DOF{Temperature, Vertex}, u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}}
```
# Purpose
Hides implementation detail so we can change from NamedTuple to custom struct later
without breaking user code.
# Usage in Element Type
```julia
# Single-field - always use @DOFSet
S = @DOFSet{u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}}
Element{K, P, S}
# Multi-field - use @DOFSet
S = @DOFSet{T::DOF{Temperature, Vertex}, u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}}
Element{K, P, S}
```
# Compatibility Note
`NamedTuple` also works (since `DOFSet = NamedTuple`), but `DOFSet` is the preferred
interface. Using `DOFSet` ensures your code will continue to work if we change the
internal representation in the future.
"""
const DOFSet = NamedTuple
"""
@DOFSet{field1::Type1, field2::Type2, ...}
Create a multi-field DOF specification.
# Syntax
Each field is specified using `DOF{FieldType, EntityType}`:
```julia
field_name::DOF{FieldType, EntityType}
```
Where:
- `FieldType`: AbstractField type (Displacement{3}, Temperature, etc.)
- `EntityType`: Topological entity (Vertex, Edge, Face, Cell)
# Examples
```julia
# Thermo-mechanical coupling
S = @DOFSet{T::DOF{Temperature, Vertex}, u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}}
# THM-E (full multi-physics)
S = @DOFSet{
T::DOF{Temperature, Vertex}, # Temperature
u::DOF{Displacement{3}, Vertex}, # Displacement
p::DOF{Pressure, Cell}, # Pressure
φ::DOF{ElectricPotential, Edge} # Electric potential
}
# Create element with multi-field spec
element = Element{Tetrahedron{4}, Lagrange{1}, S}(id, dof_indices)
```
# Implementation Note
Currently wraps `@NamedTuple` but this is hidden from users.
Can be changed to custom struct later without breaking code!
# Compatibility
You can also use `@NamedTuple` directly, but `@DOFSet` is preferred for future compatibility.

abstract type DOF{T, E<:TopologicalEntity} <: AbstractDOF
Abstract type for type-level field specifications. NEVER instantiated!
Used purely for clean syntax when specifying fields:
```julia
(u = DOF{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex}, p = DOF{Float64, Cell})
```
This is equivalent to the NamedTuple type:
```julia
@NamedTuple{u::Tuple{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex}, p::Tuple{Float64, Cell}}
```
# Type Parameters
- `T`: Quantity type (Float64, Vec{D}, Tensor{2,D}, etc.)
- `E`: Topological entity (Vertex, Edge, Face, Cell)
# Examples
```julia
DOF{Float64, Vertex} # Scalar at vertices
DOF{Vec{3,Float64}, Vertex} # 3D vector at vertices
DOF{Tensor{2,3,Float64}, Cell} # 3×3 tensor at cells
DOF{SymmetricTensor{2,2}, Edge} # 2×2 symmetric tensor on edges
