* Initial plan
* Fix TOML encoder to prefer readable table sections over inline tables
When converting from YAML/JSON to TOML, the encoder now always uses
readable TOML table section syntax ([section]) instead of compact inline
hash table syntax (key = { ... }), which better matches TOML's goal as
a human-focused configuration format.
Changes:
- decoder_toml.go: Mark inline TOML tables with FlowStyle so round-trips
can be distinguished from YAML flow mappings
- encoder_toml.go:
- encodeTopLevelEntry: use FlowStyle check instead of EncodeSeparate to
decide inline vs table section (all block mappings now become tables)
- encodeSeparateMapping: count FlowStyle children as attributes; use
recursive encodeSeparateMapping for nested non-flow mappings
- encodeMappingBodyWithPath: emit non-flow child mappings as sub-table
sections instead of inline tables
- toml_test.go: add encode (YAML→TOML) test scenarios, update roundtrip
expectations for inline tables (now expanded to table sections)

* Fix TOML roundtrip: use TomlInline flag instead of FlowStyle to preserve inline tables
FlowStyle affected YAML decode output (causing inline tables to appear as
YAML flow mappings). Replace it with a new TOML-specific TomlInline bool
on CandidateNode that:
- Is set by the TOML decoder for inline tables (not FlowStyle)
- Is copied by UpdateAttributesFrom so it survives DeeplyAssign merges
- Is checked by the TOML encoder alongside FlowStyle (for YAML flow maps)
- Has no effect on the YAML encoder, preserving existing TOML→YAML output
TOML roundtrip tests are restored to their original expected values (inline
tables stay inline, table sections stay as sections).

Standalone TOML comments immediately inside a table/array-table no longer end the table scope, preventing subsequent keys from being flattened to the document root.
