`MDEx.to_html/2` spent most of its time translating the AST between the `MDEx.*` and `MDExNative.Comrak.*` namespaces, twice per render. Two changes, closes #395: * `MDEx.ComrakConverter` resolved the target module per node with `Module.split/1` + `Module.safe_concat/1`, then rebuilt the struct field by field. Both namespaces declare the same fields, so the table is now expanded into function clauses at compile time and a node converts by swapping `__struct__`. * Rendering HTML or XML from Markdown with no pipeline steps and no codefence renderers no longer builds an Elixir AST at all — the NIF renders the source directly and both translation passes disappear. 26 KB inline-heavy document, 50 iterations: | path | before | after | | ----------------------------- | -------: | ------: | | `to_html!/2` on Markdown | 31.73 ms | 1.24 ms | | `to_html!/1` with a step (AST) | 31.58 ms | 7.98 ms | `MDEx.to_xml/2` on a document now emits the root `sourcepos` attribute under `render: [sourcepos: true]`, matching what it already emitted when called with a Markdown binary.
`Application.load/1` always returned `{:error, {:already_loaded, :mdex_native}}`
here, since `mdex_native` is a started dependency. The result was discarded, so
the test worked, but the call was misleading — use `Application.ensure_loaded/1`,
which is idempotent, and assert on its result.
The round trip also passed vacuously if module discovery came back empty or
partial, which is exactly when this guard matters. It now asserts the discovered
set covers `@nodes` first, and skips modules that aren't structs.

Mutation testing showed two guards in `Document.unparsed_markdown/1` were load-bearing but untested: dropping `nodes: []` silently discards previously parsed nodes when more Markdown is buffered, and dropping `halted: false` renders the buffer of a halted document. The whole suite still passed with either removed.
