4.4.20: Rope-based parsing, improved release tooling, and bug fixes
### Enhancements
- **Rope-based parsing**: Added direct rope parsing for FASTA, EMBL, and FASTQ formats via `FastaChunkParserRope`, `EmblChunkParserRope`, and `FastqChunkParserRope`. Sequence extraction now supports U→T conversion and improved line ending detection.
- **Rope scanner refactoring**: Unified rope scanning logic under a new `ropeScanner`, improving maintainability and consistency.
- **Sequence handling**: Added `TakeQualities()` method to BioSequence for more efficient quality data handling.
### Bug Fixes
- **Compression behavior**: Fixed `CompressStream` to correctly use the `compressed` variable instead of a hardcoded boolean.
- **String splitting**: Replaced ambiguous `SplitInTwo` calls with precise `LeftSplitInTwo` or `RightSplitInTwo`, and added dedicated right-split utility.
### Tooling & Workflow Improvements
- **Makefile enhancements**: Added colored terminal output, a `help` target for documenting all targets, and improved release workflow automation.
- **Release process**: Refactored `jjpush` into modular targets (`jjpush-notes`, `jjpush-push`, `jjpush-tag`), replaced `orla` with `aichat` for AI-assisted release notes, and introduced robust JSON parsing using Python. Release notes are now generated and stored in temp files for tag creation.
- **Versioning**: `bump-version` now supports the VERSION environment variable for manual version setting.
- **Submission**: Switched from raw `jj git push` to `stakk` for PR submission.
### Internal Notes
- Installation instructions are now included in release tags.
- Fixed-size carry buffer replaced with dynamic slice for arbitrarily long line support without extra allocations.
