feat: implement comprehensive TypedArray support for efficient binary data handling

Add complete support for all 11 JavaScript TypedArray types (Int8Array, Uint8Array,
Uint8ClampedArray, Int16Array, Uint16Array, Int32Array, Uint32Array, Float32Array,
Float64Array, BigInt64Array, BigUint64Array) with proper C++ type mapping and runtime
implementation.

Key Features:
- TypedArray type recognition in SimpleTypeChecker for all 11 types
- Comprehensive C++ type mapping (Int8Array → js::Int8Array, etc.)
- TypedArray base class template inheriting from array<T>
- Full method implementations: subarray(), set(), fill()
- Property support: length, byteLength, BYTES_PER_ELEMENT
- Constructor overloads for size initialization and data initialization
- Special Uint8ClampedArray with value clamping (0-255)
- 10 comprehensive test scenarios covering all TypedArray usage patterns

Applications:
- Graphics programming (vertex data with Float32Array)
- Audio processing (samples with Int16Array)
- Binary data manipulation (bytes with Uint8Array)
- Game engines (efficient data structures)
- Mathematical computations (typed numeric arrays)

Technical Implementation:
- Added TypedArray type detection in getTypeString() method
- Enhanced mapToCppType() with specific C++ type mappings
- Runtime library expanded with 167 lines of TypedArray implementations
- Template-based inheritance ensuring type safety and JavaScript semantics
- Memory-efficient binary data handling with proper byte calculations

All tests pass (10/10) demonstrating complete functionality for:
✅ Basic TypedArray operations and property access
✅ Mathematical operations and audio processing
✅ Graphics data handling and vertex operations
✅ Binary data manipulation and storage
✅ Multiple TypedArray type interactions
✅ Advanced methods (subarray, set, fill)

 **Note:** NoInfer is a compile-time TypeScript utility that controls type inference behavior. TypeScript2Cxx processes NoInfer by extracting the inner type and using it directly in C++ generation, since C++ template type deduction works differently from TypeScript's inference system. The utility serves its purpose during the TypeScript compilation phase and doesn't require special runtime handling in C++.
 
+#### TypedArray Support
+
+TypeScript2Cxx now includes comprehensive support for all JavaScript TypedArray types, providing efficient binary data handling for applications like graphics programming, audio processing, and data manipulation. TypedArrays are mapped to specific C++ template classes that inherit from the base array type while providing TypedArray-specific methods and properties.
+
+**TypeScript Code:**
+
+```typescript
+// Basic TypedArray usage
+const data = new Uint8Array(10);
+data[0] = 255;
+data[1] = 128;
+
+const buffer = new Float32Array([1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4]);
+const subBuffer = buffer.subarray(1, 3);
+
+// Audio processing example with Int16Array
+const audioSamples = new Int16Array(1024);

+  buffer: Int16Array,
+  frequency: number,
+  sampleRate: number
+): void {
+  for (let i = 0; i < buffer.length; i++) {
+    const t = i / sampleRate;
+    const sample = Math.sin(2 * Math.PI * frequency * t);
+    buffer[i] = Math.round(sample * 32767);
+  }
+}
+
+generateSineWave(audioSamples, 440, 44100);
+
+// Graphics data with Float32Array
+const vertices = new Float32Array([
+  0.0, 1.0, 0.0,    // vertex 1
+  -1.0, -1.0, 0.0,  // vertex 2
+  1.0, -1.0, 0.0    // vertex 3
+]);
+
+// TypedArray properties and methods
+const length = data.length;
+const byteLength = data.byteLength;
+const bytesPerElement = data.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT;
+
+// Advanced operations
+const copy = new Uint8Array(data.length);
+copy.set(data);
+copy.fill(0, 5);
+```
+

+data[1] = 128;
+
+js::Float32Array buffer({1.1f, 2.2f, 3.3f, 4.4f});

+  -1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f,
+  1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f
+});
+```
+
+**Supported TypedArray Types:**
+
+- `Int8Array` → `js::Int8Array` (signed 8-bit integers)
+- `Uint8Array` → `js::Uint8Array` (unsigned 8-bit integers)
+- `Uint8ClampedArray` → `js::Uint8ClampedArray` (clamped 8-bit integers)
+- `Int16Array` → `js::Int16Array` (signed 16-bit integers)
+- `Uint16Array` → `js::Uint16Array` (unsigned 16-bit integers)
+- `Int32Array` → `js::Int32Array` (signed 32-bit integers)
+- `Uint32Array` → `js::Uint32Array` (unsigned 32-bit integers)
+- `Float32Array` → `js::Float32Array` (32-bit floating point)
+- `Float64Array` → `js::Float64Array` (64-bit floating point)
+- `BigInt64Array` → `js::BigInt64Array` (signed 64-bit integers)
+- `BigUint64Array` → `js::BigUint64Array` (unsigned 64-bit integers)
+
+**TypedArray Methods and Properties:**
+
+- `length` - Number of elements
+- `byteLength` - Size in bytes
+- `BYTES_PER_ELEMENT` - Bytes per element (static property)
+- `subarray(start, end)` - Create a typed view of a portion
+- `set(source, offset)` - Copy data from another array
+- `fill(value, start, end)` - Fill with a specific value
+
+**Note:** TypedArrays provide memory-efficient binary data handling and are essential for performance-critical applications like game engines, audio processing, and graphics programming. The C++ implementation uses template specialization to ensure type safety while maintaining JavaScript semantics.
