Defines the core `Facet` trait that powers runtime reflection in the facet ecosystem.

### The Facet Trait

The `Facet` trait is the foundation of facet's reflection system. Types that implement `Facet`:

* Provide their memory layout information
* Describe their structure (fields, variants, etc.)
* Enable safe runtime manipulation
* Can be safely type-erased and restored

### Built-in Implementations

This crate provides `Facet` implementations for many standard library types:

* Basic types (`bool`, integers, floats)
* Collections (`Vec`, `HashMap`, etc.)
* Smart pointers (`Box`, `Rc`, `Arc`)
* Other common types (`String`, `Option`, `Result`)

These implementations make it easy to use facet with existing Rust code.
