[INJECT-06] Implement the HTML5 tokenizer #7

Description

@chrisbbreuer

Objective

Implement data, tag, attribute, comment, doctype, CDATA, raw-text, malformed-input, and context-sensitive HTML5 tokenization required by XSS detection.

Deliverables

  • Implement the complete scoped behavior without Git submodules.
  • Keep public APIs explicit about ownership, resource limits, and errors.
  • Add focused unit, integration, compatibility, fuzz, and benchmark coverage as applicable.
  • Update documentation and machine-readable compatibility status.

Acceptance criteria

  • The scoped implementation and tests are merged on main.
  • Zig formatting, focused tests, and the repository CI suite pass.
  • No unexplained compatibility skips, silent fallbacks, leaks, or unbounded hostile-input paths remain.
  • Benchmarks or security evidence is attached when this affects a hot or untrusted path.
