Every Finding now carries a stable Rule string field with a GL### code.
The ID appears in output between the source location and the message:
[ERROR] job "deploy" (ci.yml:14) GL003: missing required field 'script'

Changes:
- internal/linter/rules.go: new file with all 31 constants + doc comments
- linter.Finding: add Rule string field; String() inserts it before the
message colon when non-empty; format unchanged when Rule == ""
- All Finding{} literals in linter.go, keywords.go, needs.go,
dependencies.go updated with the correct Rule: constant
- README.md lint rules table: new ID column added to all four sections
- CHANGELOG.md: entry in [Unreleased]

parseNeedJobNames is replaced by parseNeedEntries which preserves the
optional flag from each needs: entry. When a referenced job does not
exist and optional:true is set, the finding is now WARNING instead of
ERROR, matching GitLab CI runtime behavior (the dependency is silently
skipped when the job is absent from a conditional include).
Optional missing deps are also excluded from the cycle-detection graph
since there is no real dependency edge to trace.
Adds a fixture case in testdata/needs.yml to prevent regression.

Every finding now carries the source file and exact line number of the job
key in its YAML file. Format: [ERROR] job "name" (file.yml:12): message.
Pipeline-level findings (workflow rules, no stages) reference p.SourceFile.
Cross-file include jobs (local, project, component) carry the include source
as their File, set via Pipeline.SetJobOrigin after each ParseBytes call in
the resolver.
Line numbers come from the yaml.Node key node (exact job-name line) in a
new document-level first pass in ParseBytes, replacing the previous
map[string]yaml.Node approach which only gave value-node lines.
Also: jobs that declare extends: but have no script after resolution now
emit WARNING instead of ERROR. The script may come from a base in a remote
include that was not fetched (no token, offline), making the error a false
positive in common project setups.
