GumTree-style tree diffing with Chawathe edit script generation.

This crate provides a generic tree diffing algorithm based on the GumTree approach:

1. Top-down matching: Finds identical subtrees by hash
2. Bottom-up matching: Matches remaining nodes by structural similarity
3. Chawathe edit script: Generates minimal INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and MOVE operations

Used by facet-diff for structural comparison of Facet types.
