lib: Add Kani formal verification proofs

Add bounded model checking proofs using Kani to verify key invariants:

- skip_if_zero_or_none: correctly identifies values to skip serializing
- set_fds/get_fds: round-trip property holds for all message types
- get_fds: returns 0 when fds field is None

Also adds:
- GitHub Actions workflow job to run Kani proofs in CI
- Justfile with common development commands including kani targets

Kani is a bounded model checker that mathematically proves these properties
hold for all possible inputs within bounds, providing stronger guarantees
than traditional testing.
