<f-my-component attribute="value" /> support

[fadrian06]

This pull request introduces a major enhancement to the template rendering system by adding support for reusable components, along with several improvements to the View class and its tests. The changes include the introduction of a new Component base class, significant refactoring and expansion of the View class to support component rendering, and modernizations to the test suite for better reliability and clarity.

Key highlights:

• The View class now supports rendering component tags (e.g., <f-component-name />) with automatic property passing, CSS/JS injection, and improved template resolution.
• A new abstract Component base class is introduced for reusable UI elements.
• The test suite is updated for clarity, modern PHPUnit practices, and to cover new features.

---

Component System Enhancements

• Introduced a new abstract Component base class in flight/template/Component.php, which provides a structure for reusable template components with html(), css(), and js() methods.
• Refactored View to support component rendering: detects custom component tags, parses their properties, and renders them recursively, including their CSS and JS, ensuring each style/script is only included once.

View Class Improvements

• Extended the View constructor to accept componentPrefix and componentsPath for flexible component tag naming and location. Improved template variable management, file path resolution, and error handling.
• Refactored and improved the set, clear, exists, and getTemplate methods for better type safety and clarity. Added utility methods for argument resolution and style/script rendering. [1][2][3]

Test Suite Modernization

• Updated tests/ViewTest.php to use self::assert* methods, improved output normalization, and added/updated tests to cover new component and template features. [1][2][3]

Miscellaneous Improvements

• Updated author homepage URLs in composer.json to use HTTPS.
• Broadened .editorconfig rules to apply to all files under tests/views/ recursively.

So I think this is ok minus the one change, but you probably should add to the Flight docs for the docs related to this change. The other thing that I don't know right now is if this will break for people using the current view class. There might be some future issues related to this you should be prepared to fix if they get surfaced.

don't worry, I am testing this is personal apps and it works as expected, both old and new syntax...

Pull request overview

This PR adds a reusable “component tag” system to Flight’s template rendering by extending flight\template\View to detect and render <f-... /> tags (including nested components), and introduces a flight\template\Component base class for class-based components. It also updates/expands the test suite and fixtures to validate the new rendering behavior.

Changes:

• Introduces flight\template\Component and extends View::fetch() to support functional (callable) and class-based components, plus one-time CSS/JS injection per component.
• Adds component-tag parsing (<prefix-component ... />) with prop extraction and recursive rendering.
• Modernizes/expands view tests and adds many new test fixture templates/components.
