…andling and algorithmic details (#2506)

This PR significantly enhances the documentation throughout the kona
codebase to address several areas identified for improvement:

## Key Improvements

### 📚 Enhanced Documentation Coverage
- **Driver & Pipeline Modules**: Added comprehensive documentation for
the core derivation driver, pipeline cursors, and tip management
- **Proof System**: Documented the stateless L2 builder architecture,
boot information loading, and execution model
- **Protocol Components**: Enhanced documentation for batch processing,
frame handling, and span batch compression algorithms

### 🚨 Comprehensive Error Documentation
- **Error Categories**: Documented error types with detailed
categorization (temporary, critical, reset errors)
- **Failure Conditions**: Added specific error scenarios and common
causes for all major error types
- **Recovery Strategies**: Documented appropriate handling approaches
for different error categories

### 🧠 Algorithm Documentation
- **Span Batch Processing**: Added detailed explanations of compression
techniques and validation algorithms
- **Frame Encoding**: Documented binary frame format and reassembly
process
- **State Management**: Explained cursor caching, reorg handling, and
memory management strategies

### 🔧 API Documentation
- **Method Documentation**: Enhanced all public methods with parameter
descriptions, return values, and error conditions
- **Panic Conditions**: Documented when methods may panic and how to
avoid such conditions
- **Usage Patterns**: Added examples and architectural guidance for
complex components

## Examples of Improvements

### Before:
```rust
/// Creates a new Driver.
pub const fn new(cursor: Arc<RwLock<PipelineCursor>>, executor: E, pipeline: DP) -> Self
```

### After:
```rust
/// Creates a new [`Driver`] instance.
///
/// Initializes the driver with the provided cursor, executor, and pipeline components.
/// The driver starts with no cached safe head artifacts.
///
/// # Arguments
/// * `cursor` - Shared cursor for tracking derivation state
/// * `executor` - Block executor for building and executing L2 blocks  
/// * `pipeline` - Derivation pipeline for producing block attributes
///
/// # Returns
/// A new [`Driver`] instance ready for operation after calling [`wait_for_executor`].
pub const fn new(cursor: Arc<RwLock<PipelineCursor>>, executor: E, pipeline: DP) -> Self
```

### Complex Algorithm Documentation:
```rust
/// Stateless OP Stack L2 block builder that derives state from trie proofs during execution.
///
/// The [`StatelessL2Builder`] operates in a stateless manner by:
/// 1. **Trie Database**: Uses [`TrieDB`] to access state via Merkle proofs
/// 2. **EVM Factory**: Creates execution environments with proof-backed state
/// 3. **Block Executor**: Executes transactions using witness-provided state
/// 4. **Receipt Generation**: Produces execution receipts and state commitments
```

## Areas Covered

- **Driver Pipeline**: Complete documentation of derivation coordination
and error handling
- **Cursor Management**: Detailed cache management and reorg recovery
documentation
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error categorization with specific
failure scenarios
- **Execution Engine**: Stateless execution model and proof-based state
access
- **Batch Processing**: Span batch compression algorithms and validation
logic
- **Frame Handling**: Binary encoding formats and reassembly processes

## Impact

This documentation enhancement significantly improves:
- **Developer Experience**: Clear understanding of complex algorithms
and error conditions
- **Maintenance**: Better context for debugging and extending
functionality
- **Onboarding**: Comprehensive explanations for new contributors
- **Reliability**: Explicit documentation of failure modes and recovery
strategies

All changes maintain full backward compatibility and do not modify any
underlying logic or behavior.
