    feat(java/python/rust/go/c++): xlang nullable/ref alignment (#3104)
    
    ## Why?
    
    Cross-language serialization requires consistent handling of nullable
    fields and reference tracking across all language implementations.
    Previously, there were inconsistencies in:
    - Field sorting order for nullable vs non-nullable fields
    - Handling of `std::optional` / `Optional` types during serialization
    - TypeDef encoding/decoding for field nullability metadata
    - MetaCompressor configuration not being passed through in cython mode
    
    ## What does this PR do?
    
    ### Core Changes
    
    1. **Unified Field Sorting Order** (Java, C++, Go, Rust, Python)
    - Fixed numeric field sorter to use type_id descending order to match
    Java's implementation
    - Ensures consistent field order across all languages for schema
    compatibility
    
    2. **Nullable Field Xlang Tests**
    - Added comprehensive nullable field tests for SCHEMA_CONSISTENT and
    COMPATIBLE modes
    - New test structs: `NullableComprehensiveSchemaConsistent`
    (type_id=401) and `NullableComprehensiveCompatible` (type_id=402)
    - Tests cover all primitive types, boxed types, and reference types
    (String, List, Set, Map)
       - Enabled tests for C++, Python, Go, and Rust
    
    3. **C++ Improvements**
    - Fixed `std::optional` serializer to properly propagate `has_generics`
    flag
    - Added `NullableComprehensiveSchemaConsistent` and
    `NullableComprehensiveCompatible` structs
       - Implemented nullable field test handlers
    
    4. **Python Improvements**
       - Added `NoOpMetaCompressor` for testing without compression
    - Added `meta_compressor` parameter to `Fory` and `TypeResolver`
    constructors
       - Fixed cython mode to properly pass `meta_compressor` parameter
    - Updated `NullableComprehensiveCompatible` to use `Optional` for all
    nullable fields
    - Fixed field name resolution with smart fallback lookup (snake_case ↔
    camelCase)
    
    5. **Go Improvements**
       - Added nullable field test support
       - Fixed field ordering for xlang compatibility
    
    6. **Rust Improvements**
       - Added nullable field test handlers
       - Fixed field sorting consistency
    
    7. **Java Improvements**
    - Refactored `ObjectSerializer` for better nullable/ref tracking
    handling
       - Fixed `StringUtils.lowerUnderscoreToLowerCamelCase` off-by-one bug
    - Added custom test overrides for C++ and Python that properly handle
    null values
    
    ### Language-Specific Null Handling
    
    - **C++** uses `std::optional<T>` - properly preserves null values
    - **Python** uses `Optional[T]` - properly preserves null values
    - **Rust** sends default values for nullable fields (different behavior)
    - **Go** handles nullable fields with proper nil checks
