- Update anchor-lang and anchor-spl to 1.0.0 in all Cargo.toml files - Update @anchor-lang/core to 1.0.0 in all package.json files - Remove stale RC pin comments from Cargo.toml files - Update .reference/ANCHOR-1.0-MIGRATION.md to reflect stable release - Keep all existing tests unchanged (no LiteSVM additions)
…amples Converts all Anchor examples from impl blocks on account constraint structs to free handler functions. Structs renamed to *AccountConstraints, variable name ctx → context, self.field → accounts.field throughout. This removes fake OOP — the methods never modified instance state, they just needed access to accounts. Free functions make this explicit.

Based on #558 (Anchor 1.0 stable).
Refactors all Anchor examples to use free handler functions instead of impl blocks on account constraint structs.
Why
The impl pattern is fake OOP — the methods don't modify instance state, they just need access to accounts. Free functions make this explicit and are more consistent with Rust conventions.
