7fec4a9a3f Implement SignalWithStart as a system nexus endpoint (#9833)
## What changed?
This PR adds `SignalWithStartWorkflowExecution` as a synchronous Nexus
operation exposed via `__temporal_system endpoint`, allowing workflows
to signal-with-start other workflows through the CHASM Nexus operation
framework.

Key changes:
- `chasm/lib/workflow/nexus_service.go`: `workflowServiceNexusHandler`
implements the `SignalWithStartWorkflowExecution` Nexus sync operation
by resolving the namespace and delegating to the History service. A
`SignalWithStartOperationProcessor` handles input enrichment (namespace,
request ID, links) and routing via CHASM's
`NexusOperationProcessorResult`.
- `chasm/lib/workflow/library.go` — library now holds the
`workflowServiceNexusHandler`, the workflow `Config`, the SA mapper
provider, and the SA validator. `newLibrary` (used by fx) takes those
dependencies, while the public `NewLibrary` keeps its old signature for
external callers. Adds `NexusServices()` so the library registers its
Nexus service via CHASM.
- `chasm/lib/workflow/validator.go`: `RequestValidator` consolidates the
`SignalWithStartWorkflowExecution` validation logic (previously inlined
in `WorkflowHandler`) into a reusable, injectable struct. This same
validator is used by both the frontend handler and the new CHASM
processor.
- common/dynamicconfig/constants.go — adds
`EnableSignalWithStartFromWorkflow` (namespace-scoped, default false).
- `service/frontend/workflow_handler.go`: Removed the `SignalWithStart`
validation block
- `service/history/fx.go`: Provides a `HistoryServiceServerProvider` so
the CHASM workflow library can call the history handler directly.
- `temporal/fx.go`: Removes the now-redundant `ChasmLibraryOptions`
grouping; each service module registers its own CHASM libraries.
- `components/nexusoperations/workflow/commands.go`: `NotFound` and
`InvalidArgument` errors during Nexus command handling are now surfaced
as workflow task failures instead of being treated as transient handler
errors.
- `common/payloads`: Adds `EncodeSingle`, `MustEncodeSingle`, and
`MustEncode` helpers used in tests.
- `cmd/tools/getproto`: Adds support for nexus-proto-annotations proto
imports.
- `tests/signal_with_start_from_workflow_test.go`: Functional test suite
covering the happy path, duplicate detection, conflict policies, and
validation rejection for the new Nexus operation.


## Why?
This functionality is one of our most requested GitHub issues.

## How did you test it?
- [X] built
- [X] run locally and tested manually
- [ ] covered by existing tests
- [X] added new unit test(s)
- [X] added new functional test(s)

## Potential risks
The history service now directly exposes a `HistoryServiceServer`
interface via `fx` for injection into the CHASM workflow library. This
tight coupling between the CHASM workflow library and the history
handler could complicate future layering — callers outside the history
service should not adopt this pattern. The feature is gated by
`history.enableSignalWithStartFromWorkflow` for rollout.
