Developer 4d18874909 feat: actor groups with pub-sub broadcast (Cycle 14)
Add GroupRegistry for named actor groups. Actors join/leave groups via
rt.join_group() / ctx.join_group(), and messages can be broadcast to all
members via rt.publish_to() / ctx.publish(). Groups auto-create on first
join, auto-delete when empty, and members are auto-removed on death.
