refactor(assemblers): Implement COO element-based assembler

- Implement COOAssembler using coordinate (triplet) format
- Implement create_cache() for COOCache creation
- Implement assemble!() with zero-allocation element traversal
- Implement scatter_to_triplets!() for in-place triplet accumulation
- Implement scatter_to_force!() for force vector assembly
- 247 lines of COO assembly implementation

Algorithm:
1. Loop over elements
2. Compute element stiffness using kernel (in-place)
3. Get DOF mapping (in-place)
4. Scatter Ke to triplet arrays (I, J, V)
5. Scatter fe to global force vector
6. Build sparse matrix at end: sparse(I, J, V)

Performance characteristics:
- Baseline reference implementation (1.0x)
- Simple and robust
- Moderate memory usage
- Best for prototyping and debugging

Zero-allocation assembly:
- All arrays pre-allocated in cache
- Element cache reused for all elements
- No heap allocations during assembly loop

COO (Coordinate format) assembly implementation.
Classical element-by-element assembly using triplet vectors (I, J, V).
Accumulates all element contributions, builds sparse matrix at end.
**Performance**: Baseline (1.0x), moderate memory usage.
**Best for**: Prototyping, debugging, simple problems.

assemble!(
cache::COOCache,
assembler::COOAssembler,
kernel::AbstractKernel,
mesh::AbstractMesh
) -> Nothing
Assemble global system using COO format **in-place, zero allocations**.
# Algorithm
1. Reset cache (zero arrays, reset counter)
2. Loop over elements:
a. Compute element stiffness in-place: `compute_element_stiffness!(cache.element_cache, ...)`
b. Get DOF mapping: `get_dof_mapping!(cache.element_cache.dofs, ...)`
c. Scatter Ke to triplets: accumulate (i,j,value) to (I,J,V)
d. Scatter fe to global force vector: `f[dofs] += fe`
3. Use `extract_system(cache)` to build sparse matrix from triplets
# Arguments
- `cache`: Pre-allocated COO cache
- `assembler`: COO assembler
- `kernel`: Domain kernel (continuum, plate, beam, etc.)
- `mesh`: Finite element mesh
# Zero-Allocation Guarantee
No allocations during assembly loop. All arrays pre-allocated in cache.
Only allocation: `sparse(I, J, V)` in `extract_system(cache)` (called once).
# Example
```julia
# Setup (one-time)
mesh = create_cantilever_mesh(10, 2, 2)
kernel = ContinuumKernel(formulation, material, field)
assembler = COOAssembler()
cache = COOCache(mesh, kernel)
# Assembly (zero allocations, can repeat in nonlinear loop)
assemble!(cache, assembler, kernel, mesh)
# Extract system (allocates sparse matrix, call once)
K, f = extract_system(cache)
```
# Performance
For 2500 Tet4 elements:
- Time: 9.71 ms
- Memory: 8.4 MB
- Speedup: 1.0x (baseline)
