feat: add SQL query optimizer spec (SQLOptimizer.speckdl)

Models a cost-based SQL optimizer pipeline: parse → rewrite → plan → execute.
Exercises state-dependent transforms, cost models, conditional emits,
plan caching, and rollback semantics. Passes tsc --noEmit clean.

// SQLOptimizer.speckdl — A cost-based SQL query optimizer
// Models the full optimization pipeline: parse → rewrite → plan → execute
// Exercises: state-dependent transforms, cost models, map-based catalog,
// collection guards, conditional emits, and rollback semantics.
