Add opt-in `Qiskit.Operations` `!` interface for circuit building (#63)

* Add opt-in Qiskit.Operations `!` interface for circuit building

Introduce `Qiskit.Operations`, an opt-in submodule that exposes every
circuit operation as a `!`-suffixed function taking the circuit as its
first argument, e.g. `h!(qc, 1)`, `cx!(qc, 1, 2)`, `measure!(qc, 1, 1)`.
This is the idiomatic-Julia counterpart to the existing Python-style
property accessors (`qc.h(1)`), which remain unchanged.

The names are not re-exported from `Qiskit` itself; users opt in with
`using Qiskit.Operations`, so generic verbs like `measure!` and `reset!`
only enter the namespace when requested.

Implementation notes:

- A single `GATE_TABLE` now drives the standard gates. The property
  accessor (`getproperty`), `propertynames`, and the generated gate
  functions are all derived from it, replacing the previous hand-written
  ~120-line if/else and the separately-maintained `propertynames` tuple.
- Gate lookup uses compile-time `Val` dispatch, so `qc.h(1)` with a
  literal symbol still folds to a single concrete `GateClosure{QkGate_H}`
  construction with no runtime branching, preserving the prior
  optimization (the gate remains a type parameter).
- The canonical implementations are the `!` functions; the property-style
  closures forward into them, so there is exactly one code path per
  operation. The Unitful extension adds a `delay!` method accordingly.
- Gate arities are validated against the C library by a new test that
  builds one instruction per gate and checks the resulting
  `CircuitInstruction`. This caught an incorrect arity for `cu`, which
  takes four parameters (theta, phi, lambda, gamma), not three; the
  previous value made `qc.cu(...)` always raise. Corrected to (2, 4).
