Add optional net feature (enabled by default) for fetching images, stylesheets, and web fonts over http(s)/file/data URLs.

Thanks for this library, it's pretty amazing what Blitz can do. It's really nice to have a simplified api around it.

Disclaimer: This is guide-coded using Windsurf + Claude Code Opus 4.8, and I haven't reviewed it properly. Don't merge, but take it as an inspiration if you want to add proper support.

There is an overhead of creating a tokyo runtime object, but subsequent renders should be able to reuse it. It can be challenging to make this a compile-time opt-in, as it could change the signature of some functions.

On my laptop, I could render a local png file in 75ms, and a remote version of it in 150ms.

Add optional `net` feature (enabled by default) for fetching images,
stylesheets, and web fonts over http(s)/file/data URLs.

- Add blitz-net and tokio dependencies for resource loading
- Add NetEnv wrapper for synchronous resource fetching via shared runtime
- Pass NetProvider to document creation and block until resources load
- Add remote_image example demonstrating image fetching
- Add offline integration test using data: URIs
- Add png,net feature combination
