4.1: Add docstring_generator tool with tests
- scripts/docstring_generator.py: CLI tool that detects functions missing docstrings and
  generates Google-style docstrings from function signature and body.
  Supports --dry-run, --json, -v flags. Inserts docstrings in place using AST.
- tests/test_docstring_generator.py: Unit tests (14 tests, all pass) covering core logic.

Detects 129 undocumented functions across 27 files; can process 20+ per run.

Closes #96
