feat!: add retry/parallelism/byte-chunking to batch_add_requests; type request-queue lock/list/batch results

RequestQueueClient::batch_add_requests now matches the reference client's
batchAddRequests: chunks by both request count (25) and JSON byte size
(~9 MiB), sends chunks with bounded parallelism (default 5 in flight), and
retries requests reported unprocessed (rate-limited) with exponential
backoff (default 3 retries). Its second parameter is now
BatchAddRequestsOptions instead of a bare forefront: bool.

list_and_lock_head, list_requests, unlock_requests, prolong_request_lock
and batch_delete_requests now return typed models (LockedRequestQueueHead,
RequestQueueRequestsPage, UnlockRequestsResult, RequestLockInfo,
BatchRequestsOperationResult) instead of serde_json::Value, matching every
other resource client and the stable schemas the OpenAPI spec already
documents for these endpoints. batch_delete_requests also now rejects more
than 25 requests client-side instead of forwarding an oversized payload to
the API.

Breaking change, bumping 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0.

+- `RequestQueueClient::batch_add_requests` now matches the reference client's `batchAddRequests`:
+  it automatically splits large inputs into chunks that respect both the API's per-call
+  request-count limit (25) and its request-body byte-size limit (~9 MiB), sends chunks with up
+  to `BatchAddRequestsOptions::max_parallel` requests in flight at once (default 5), and retries
+  requests an API call reports as `unprocessed` (typically rate-limited) with exponential
+  backoff, up to `max_unprocessed_requests_retries` times (default 3). Its second parameter is
+  now `BatchAddRequestsOptions` (was a bare `forefront: bool`), and it returns the typed
+  `BatchRequestsOperationResult` (was `serde_json::Value`). **Breaking.**
+- `RequestQueueClient::batch_delete_requests` now returns the typed `BatchRequestsOperationResult`
+  (was `serde_json::Value`), and rejects more than 25 requests per call with
+  `ApifyClientError::InvalidArgument` instead of forwarding an oversized payload to the API
+  (matching the reference client, which validates rather than auto-chunks deletes). **Breaking.**

+`batch_add_requests(requests, options)` is the efficient way to add many requests at once —
+significantly cheaper than calling `add_request` in a loop. It mirrors the reference client's
+`batchAddRequests`:
+
+- The input is automatically split into chunks that respect both the API's per-call request-count
+  limit (25) and its request-body byte-size limit (~9 MiB), so there is no need to chunk manually.
+- Chunks are sent with up to `options.max_parallel` requests in flight at once (default 5).
+- Any request an API call reports as `unprocessed` (typically due to rate limiting) is retried
+  automatically with exponential backoff, up to `options.max_unprocessed_requests_retries` times
+  (default 3). A request still unprocessed after every retry is reported in
+  `BatchRequestsOperationResult::unprocessed_requests` rather than failing the call.
+- Every request should set `RequestQueueRequest::unique_key` (or rely on the API's `url`
+  fallback) so a retried request can be correlated back to the original input.

+
+`batch_delete_requests` does **not** auto-chunk (matching the reference client): it accepts at
+most 25 requests per call, identified by `id` and/or `unique_key` (not the full
+`RequestQueueRequest` shape), and returns `ApifyClientError::InvalidArgument` for a larger input.
