feat(persona): add role-based review personas (#51)
Implement role-based review personas that provide specialized review focus:
- Security: vulnerabilities, auth, secrets, injection attacks
- Architect: design patterns, code organization, API contracts
- Docs: documentation quality, API clarity, error messages

Changes:
- Add persona loading from JSON files and embedded built-ins
- Add --persona and --persona-file CLI flags (mutually exclusive)
- Add BuildPersonaSystemPrompt for persona-specific prompts
- Add FormatMarkdownWithDisplay for persona display names
- Update action.yml with persona and persona-file inputs
- Add comprehensive tests for all new functionality
- Document personas in README with examples

The persona system replaces the generic 'You are an expert code reviewer'
prompt with domain-specific identity, focus areas, ignore list, and
severity calibration. This reduces redundancy between multiple reviewers
and catches domain-specific issues that generic reviewers miss.

Closes #51
