Mark ffi interface functions as noexcept
Mark Rust ffi function as noexcept to prevent exception propagation to Rust code. Any unhandled exceptions will result in direct call to terminate(). This commit adds a custom terminate handler that provides detailed diagnostics when std::terminate() is called. This helps debug issues where exceptions escape noexcept functions or cross FFI boundaries. The handler is installed via monad_set_terminate_handler() which should be called early in main() before any exception-throwing code. This code was generated using Claude Sonnet 4.5
