What issues does this PR fix or reference?
This PR introduces an end‑to‑end flow for creating PMD XPath custom rules. It generates PMD AST XML from sample Apex code, extracts AST nodes and cached metadata, builds a high‑signal prompt for XPath generation, and then writes a PMD ruleset XML plus updates code-analyzer.yml (with relative custom ruleset paths). It also adds engine strategies/pipeline/adapters to keep the workflow extensible for future engines, along with tests and tool registration updates.
Notes / Future Work
The Apex AST reference JSON is cached locally in the provider to enable prompt enrichment in phase 1. This is a temporary placement and will move into the PMD engine implementation in core once the engine plugin owns AST metadata.
PMD CLI integration is used to generate AST XML in phase 1. This will be replaced by a PMD engine API in core (Java SDK or internal API) so we can avoid external process execution and share logic across tools.
