refactor(cli): move compression metadata policy to Rust

Keep the private stat_t probe, destination opening, metadata syscalls, and format callbacks in C, but route the regular-source plus stdin/stdout exception policy through the Rust fileio preference layer. The Rust ABI bridge normalizes the scalar consumed by the existing destination lifecycle, with compile-time value assertions and focused tests covering regular, non-regular, stdin, stdout, and nonzero scalar inputs.

Test Plan: Not run by request; cargo, make, native tests, and heavy commands were intentionally avoided. Lightweight git diff --check passed.
