feat(build): statically link TagLib, eliminate Homebrew runtime dependency (task-259)

Build TagLib 2.0.2 from source as static libraries and link into the
binary, removing the runtime dependency on /opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/.

- Add scripts/build-taglib.sh to download and build TagLib static libs
- Change zig-core/build.zig from pkg-config to vendor include/lib paths
- Change build.rs from pkg-config to static link directives with
  auto-trigger of build script when vendor libs are missing
- Remove pkg-config build dependency from mt-core
- Remove disable-library-validation entitlement from Entitlements.plist
- Update CI action to build TagLib from source instead of brew install
- Add zig:build:taglib task to Taskfile
- Add vendor/ to .gitignore (built per-platform, not committed)

+Statically linked TagLib 2.0.2 into the mt binary, eliminating the runtime dependency on Homebrew's dynamic libraries.
+
+## Changes
+- `scripts/build-taglib.sh` - New script to download TagLib source and build static `.a` libraries into `vendor/taglib/`
+- `zig-core/build.zig` - Replaced `use_pkg_config = .force` with explicit vendor include/library paths
+- `crates/mt-core/build.rs` - Static linking directives for `tag_c`, `tag`, `z`, `c++`; auto-triggers build script if vendor libs missing
+- `crates/mt-core/Cargo.toml` - Removed `pkg-config` build dependency
+- `crates/mt-tauri/Entitlements.plist` - Removed `disable-library-validation` entitlement
+- `.github/actions/setup-tauri-build/action.yml` - Replaced `brew install taglib` with `scripts/build-taglib.sh`
+- `.github/workflows/test.yml` - Updated diagnostic echo for static TagLib
+- `taskfiles/zig.yml` - Added `zig:build:taglib` and `zig:build:taglib:force` tasks
+- `.gitignore` - Added `vendor/`
+
+## Verification
+- `otool -L` shows zero `/opt/homebrew` references
+- `codesign --verify --deep --strict` passes (exit 0)
+- `codesign -d --entitlements` confirms no `disable-library-validation`
+- 596 Rust tests pass, Zig tests pass
