feat: introduce Source inheritance hierarchy with pure Python polymorphism

This refactor introduces a clean inheritance architecture using proper Python polymorphism:

Architecture:
- Add Source base class in dedicated source.py file (common metadata/extra fields)
- Refactor FileSystemNode to inherit from Source with full backward compatibility
- Create specialized classes: FileSystemFile, FileSystemDirectory, FileSystemSymlink, GitRepository
- render_tree() method belongs to FileSystemNode level (tree-specific, not all sources need it)

Pure Python Polymorphism:
- Each subclass implements its own get_sort_priority() and get_content() methods
- NO type property or enum needed - use isinstance() directly
- FileSystemFile.get_sort_priority() returns 0 (files first)
- FileSystemDirectory.get_content() raises ValueError (directories can't have content)
- FileSystemSymlink.get_content() returns target path (what symlink points to)
- Clean, extensible design following Python best practices

Removed Legacy Type System:
- Completely removed FileSystemNodeType enum
- No more type property - use isinstance() everywhere
- Constructors now use specific classes: FileSystemFile(), FileSystemDirectory(), etc.
- Pure polymorphism without any type checking properties

Code Changes:
- src/gitingest/schemas/source.py: New base Source class
- src/gitingest/schemas/filesystem.py: Refactored with polymorphic methods, Path import in TYPE_CHECKING
- src/gitingest/ingestion.py: Use specific constructors, populate symlink targets
- src/gitingest/output_formatter.py: Use isinstance() instead of enum comparisons
- Remove all FileSystemNodeType imports and usage
- All pre-commit hooks pass (ruff-check, ruff-format, etc.)

Benefits:
- True Python polymorphism where each class knows its own behavior
- No explicit type checking needed - Python dispatches automatically
- More extensible - adding new source types just requires implementing methods
- Cleaner code without enum/string type comparisons
- Full backward compatibility maintained
