feat: add post-processor pipeline to FeedEngine (#41)

* feat: add post-processor pipeline to FeedEngine

Add FeedPostProcessor type and FeedEnhancement interface.
Post-processors run after item collection on all update
paths (refresh, reactive context, reactive items).

Pipeline is chained — each processor sees items as modified
by the previous one. Enhancement merging handles additional
items, suppression, and grouped items. Throwing processors
are caught and recorded in FeedResult.errors.

* docs: document intentional TItems cast in post-processor merge

* fix: filter stale item IDs from groups after pipeline

Groups accumulated during the pipeline can reference items
that a later processor suppressed. The engine now strips
stale IDs and drops empty groups before returning.

* refactor: use reduce for stale group filtering
