Implement Keyboard Macros (F3/F4) - Phase 4 Part 3

- Added keyboard macro recording and playback system to EditorCore
- F3 starts recording, F4 ends recording or plays back last macro
- Macro recording tracks key sequences executed through Lua bindings
- Added macro state storage (current_macro_, last_macro_, recording_macro_)
- Exposed macro functions to Lua API and added F3/F4 key bindings
- Added F3/F4 function key support to ncurses input handler
- Key recording excludes F3/F4 themselves to prevent recursive recording

Basic macro infrastructure complete - execution currently logs keys for demo
