feat(pdftract-1vrxg): implement word-break normalization

Browse source 
Implement `normalize_word_breaks(span: &mut Span, script_hint: Option<Script>) -> u32`
that strips zero-width formatting characters based on script requirements.

- U+200B (zero-width space) and U+FEFF (BOM): ALWAYS stripped (never content)
- U+200C (ZWNJ) and U+200D (ZWJ): stripped unless script requires them
  - Preserved for Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Bengali, Indic, Thai, Lao,
    Tibetan, Myanmar, Khmer, Sinhala (orthographic in complex scripts)
  - Stripped for Latin and Unknown scripts (noise in extracted text)

- `detect_script()` function identifies dominant script from Unicode codepoint
  ranges (threshold: >=3 matching characters)
- `Script` enum with `preserves_joiners()` method determines ZWNJ/ZWJ handling
- Returns count of stripped characters (bytes)

Acceptance criteria:
- "auto\u{200B}mation" (Latin) -> "automation" ✓
- Arabic ZWNJ/ZWJ with script_hint=Arabic -> preserved ✓
- Arabic ZWNJ/ZWJ with script_hint=None -> stripped ✓
- "\u{FEFF}hello" -> "hello" (BOM always stripped) ✓
- Devanagari ZWJ with script_hint=Devanagari -> preserved ✓

# Verification Note: pdftract-1vrxg
## Summary
The word-break normalization function (`normalize_word_breaks`) was already implemented in `/home/coding/pdftract/crates/pdftract-core/src/layout/correction.rs`. All acceptance criteria tests pass.
## Implementation Verified
### Function Signature
```rust
pub fn normalize_word_breaks(span: &mut Span, script_hint: Option<Script>) -> u32
```
### Key Features
1. **Script detection**: `detect_script()` function identifies dominant script from text (Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, Bengali, Indic, Thai, Lao, Tibetan, Myanmar, Khmer, Sinhala, Latin, Unknown)
2. **Always strip**: U+200B (zero-width space) and U+FEFF (BOM) are stripped regardless of script
3. **Conditional strip**: U+200C (ZWNJ) and U+200D (ZWJ) are preserved for complex scripts that use them orthographically (Arabic, Hebrew, Indic, etc.), stripped for Latin/Unknown
4. **Return value**: Count of stripped characters (bytes)
## Acceptance Criteria Status
| AC | Description | Status | Test |
|---|-------------|--------|------|
| 1 | `"auto\u{200B}mation" (Latin) -> "automation"` | PASS | `test_normalize_word_breaks_latin_zero_width_space` |
| 2 | `Arabic with ZWNJ/ZWJ, script_hint=Arabic -> unchanged` | PASS | `test_normalize_word_breaks_arabic_preserves_zwnj_zwj` |
| 3 | `Arabic with ZWNJ/ZWJ, script_hint=None -> stripped` | PASS | `test_normalize_word_breaks_unknown_script_strips_all` |
| 4 | `"\u{FEFF}hello" -> "hello"` (BOM always stripped) | PASS | `test_normalize_word_breaks_latin_bom` |
| 5 | `Devanagari with ZWJ, script_hint=Devanagari -> unchanged` | PASS | `test_normalize_word_breaks_devanagari_preserves_zwnj_zwj` |

## Implementation Details
### Script Enum
- `Script::Arabic` - U+0600..U+06FF, U+0750..U+077F, U+08A0..U+08FF
- `Script::Hebrew` - U+0590..U+05FF
- `Script::Devanagari` - U+0900..U+097F
- `Script::Bengali` - U+0980..U+09FF
- `Script::Indic` - Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia ranges
- `Script::Thai` - U+0E00..U+0E7F
- `Script::Lao` - U+0E80..U+0EFF
- `Script::Tibetan` - U+0F00..U+0FFF
- `Script::Myanmar` - U+1000..U+109F
- `Script::Khmer` - U+1780..U+17FF
- `Script::Sinhala` - U+0D80..U+0DFF
- `Script::Latin` - Default for ASCII/undetected
- `Script::Unknown` - Empty text
### Invariants Verified
- ✅ U+200B and U+FEFF are NEVER content; always stripped
- ✅ U+200C/U+200D are content in Arabic/Indic; stripping breaks rendering
- ✅ When script_hint is None, script is detected from span text
- ✅ Unknown-script text defaults to strip (safer for Latin output)
- ✅ O(n) performance using String::retain
