ruODK v1.6.0: full API coverage, better devex

Hi all,

The latest ruODK release v1.6.0 now completely covers the latest ODK Central API. Please feel free to give it a spin and let us know if you run into any troubles or have any questions or ideas (ideally via GH issues on ruODK).

It also provides an updated devex - a devcontainer running a slimmed down ODK Central, completely disposable and local. This means now anyone can spin up a Codespace or run the devcontainer and run the full test suite (minus some tests requiring Enketo) locally and in pull requests.

Lastly, the devcontainer now makes agentic development easier and safer. It contains agentic skills (Posit R skills plus some others), guardrails, and Opencode (BYO API key). This makes development, review, contributions and CI/devex plumbing much easier and faster. It has indeed replaced many bite marks in my desk, YMMV.

Thanks to @LN and @alxndrsn for their advice on getting Central in CI to work!
