Stack 5 of the generic block compression series. Depends on #8042.
This PR adds the concrete block Dictionary codec without enabling production selection. Dictionary owns its u32 indices and typed item child codecs, exposes zero payload only when both children are metadata-only, and otherwise uses one bounded length-framed payload. Reader validation covers item count, child cardinality, frame boundaries, metadata-only child lengths, and index bounds.
Lance 2.0–2.2 selection and bytes remain unchanged. The encoder is exercised directly in tests and will be enabled by the following selector layer.
