Introduce [AcStringIntern] for selective string interning on properties. Update serializer to use a per-property eligibility flag, improving efficiency and control over which string fields participate in interning during binary serialization. Update test models and internal context accordingly.
- Changed TestStatus enum to use non-sequential values (5, 10, 20, ...)
- Updated related tests and deserialization logic for new enum values
- Changed PropertySkip marker from 253 to 191 to avoid TinyInt conflicts
- PropertySkip now only written for null references, not empty values
- Improved handling of skipped enum and nullable properties in deserializer
- Enhanced compiled property setter for nullable types
- Added comprehensive int serialization tests, including edge cases
- Fixed namespace casing and added missing using directive
- Introduced a high-performance, reusable "chain" API for JSON deserialization and object population, enabling parsed JSON to be reused for multiple deserializations without reparsing. Exposed via new extension methods and interfaces (`IDeserializeChain<T>`, `IPopulateChain`).
- Added comprehensive infrastructure for serializing and deserializing .NET Expression trees to a universal DTO (`AcExpressionNode`), with full round-trip support and robust handling of constants, closures, and queryable expressions.
- Centralized all property accessor and expression utilities in `AcSerializerCommon` to avoid duplication and improve maintainability.
- Enhanced both JSON and binary serializers to support Expression and IQueryable types, with automatic conversion to/from `AcExpressionNode`.
- Refactored type metadata and property accessor logic for performance and code reuse.
- Added extensive unit tests for the new chain API and expression serialization, and reorganized test models and namespaces for clarity.
- Improved logging, error handling, and test infrastructure.
- Misc: Added settings for local builds, updated project files, and cleaned up obsolete code.
