feat: implement import system for stdlib modules

- Parse and merge imported module declarations into main program
- Use existing import_resolvers infrastructure to load stdlib
- Process extern declarations from imports to register opaque types
- Try all registered grammars to parse imported modules
- Update tensor stdlib to remove unsupported @method syntax
- Import processing happens during lowering before type checking

This enables 'import tensor' to work and load trait implementations
from stdlib modules.
