feat(pdftract-5w6i): implement AcroForm field walker with recursive walk and dot-joined names

Implements Phase 7.4.1: AcroForm field walker (recursive /Fields + dot-joined names).

## Changes

- Create `crates/pdftract-core/src/forms/mod.rs` module with:
  - `AcroFieldType` enum (Tx, Btn, Ch, Sig, Other)
  - `AcroFormField` struct with full field metadata
  - `walk_acroform_fields()` public API function
  - Recursive DFS traversal with /FT, /V, /DV, /Ff inheritance
  - Widget annotation to page index resolution
  - Cycle detection via visited set
  - Name collision handling (keep last, emit diagnostic)
  - Choice field option extraction for Ch fields

- Update `lib.rs` to export forms module and types

## Implementation Details

- Entry point: `/Catalog /AcroForm /Fields` array
- Dot-joined names: Concatenate `/T` values with "." separator
- Inheritance: `/FT`, `/V`, `/DV`, `/Ff` from parent to child
- Page resolution: Search page `/Annots` arrays for widget annotations
- Cycle detection: `visited` HashSet prevents infinite loops on malformed PDFs
- Name collisions: Track emitted names, keep last on duplicate

## Tests

All 15 unit tests pass:
- Flat 3 fields extraction
- Nested 2-level hierarchy with dot-joined names
- /FT inheritance from parent to child
- /FT override by child
- /Ff (flags) inheritance
- Empty /T segment handling
- Choice field /Opt array parsing
- All field types (Tx, Btn, Ch, Sig)
- Flag accessor methods (is_read_only, is_required, etc.)
- Button field is_checked() method

+# Verification Note: pdftract-5w6i - AcroForm Field Walker
+
+## Bead
+pdftract-5w6i: 7.4.1: AcroForm field walker (recursive /Fields + dot-joined names)
+
+## Implementation Summary
+
+Created `crates/pdftract-core/src/forms/mod.rs` module implementing the AcroForm field walker:
+
+### Key Components
+
+1. **`AcroFieldType` enum**: Represents field types (Tx, Btn, Ch, Sig, Other)
+
+2. **`AcroFormField` struct**: Complete field metadata including:
+   - `full_name`: Dot-joined absolute field name
+   - `field_type`: Field type enum
+   - `value`: Current value (/V entry)
+   - `default`: Default value (/DV entry)
+   - `flags`: Field flags (/Ff entry)
+   - `rect`: Bounding rectangle
+   - `page_index`: Page containing widget annotation
+   - `opt`: Choice options for Ch fields
+
+3. **`walk_acroform_fields()` function**: Main entry point that:
+   - Walks `/Fields` array recursively via `/Kids`
+   - Builds dot-joined field names from `/T` entries
+   - Resolves `/FT`, `/V`, `/DV`, `/Ff` inheritance from parent to child
+   - Resolves widget annotations to page indices (when pages provided)
+   - Detects cycles in `/Kids` hierarchy
+   - Handles name collisions (keeps last, emits diagnostic)
+
+4. **Helper functions**:
+   - `build_widget_page_map()`: Builds field_ref -> page_index mapping from page /Annots arrays
+   - `walk_field_recursive()`: DFS traversal with inheritance tracking
+   - `extract_choice_options()`: Parses /Opt array for Ch fields
+
+### API Changes
+
+- Added `pub mod forms;` to `lib.rs`
+- Added re-exports: `walk_acroform_fields`, `AcroFieldType`, `AcroFormField`
+

+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/forms/mod.rs` - NEW (1022 lines)
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs` - Added forms module and re-exports
+
+## Commit
+
+This implementation is ready for commit. The shared API can be used by:
+- Phase 7.3 (signature discovery): Filter to `field_type == AcroFieldType::Sig`
+- Phase 7.4 (form fields): Use all field types for complete form extraction
+
+## Next Steps
+
+The signature module (`signature/mod.rs`) can be refactored to use this shared API instead of its internal `walk_acroform_fields` function.
