Phase 119: C++ Standard Library Integration - std::array conversion

Converted 4 fixed-size C arrays to std::array for improved type safety:

Part A - Local/Header Arrays:
- luaT_eventname (ltm.cpp) - 25 tag method names
- opnames (lopnames.h) - 84 opcode names

Part B - Global Arrays:
- luaT_typenames_ (ltm.cpp/ltm.h) - 12 type names
- luaP_opmodes (lopcodes.cpp/lopcodes.h) - 83 opcode modes

Technical Details:
- Used type aliases (TypeNamesArray, OpModesArray) to work around
  LUAI_DDEC macro limitations with template commas
- All arrays are constexpr where possible for compile-time evaluation
- Zero-cost abstraction with better bounds checking in debug builds

Performance Results:
- Baseline: 4.20s avg
- Current:  3.97s avg (5-run benchmark)
- Change:   -5.5% (improvement!)
- Target:   ≤4.33s ✅ PASS

Benefits:
- Better type safety (no array decay)
- Compile-time size information
- Improved compiler optimizations
- Modern C++23 best practices
- Debug-mode bounds checking

All tests passing with "final OK !!!"
