Add moveable_types=forward_setter option for perfect forwarding setters
Adds `forward_setter` value to `moveable_types` option, generating perfect forwarding setters for complex types while preserving traditional setters for primitives. Also fixes missing `operator<` implementation that caused link errors when structs are used as map keys.
**Forward Setter Generation** (`compiler/cpp/src/thrift/generate/t_cpp_generator.cc`):
- Parse `moveable_types=forward_setter` option
- Complex types (strings, containers, structs) → template setters with `std::forward<T_>`
- Primitive types → traditional const-ref setters
- Template implementations in `.tcc` file (auto-included in header)
- Legacy `moveable_types` behavior unchanged
**Compiler Unit Tests** (`compiler/cpp/tests/cpp/`):
- New `test_forward_setter.thrift` fixture
- Dedicated `t_cpp_generator_forward_setter_tests.cc` (91 assertions, 9 test cases)
- Verify `.tcc` generation and template implementations
**Integration Tests** (`test/cpp/src/`):
- `ForwardSetterTest.cpp` - validates lvalue/rvalue/temporary/literal setters with move semantics
- `PrivateOptionalTest.cpp` - SFINAE + static_assert verify optional fields are private
- `EnumClassTest.cpp` - type_traits + static_assert verify true enum class semantics
**CMakeLists.txt** (`test/cpp/`):
- Separate gen-cpp-{forward,private,enumclass} directories
**Makefile.am** (`test/cpp/`):
- Library targets for each option variant
- Proper `BUILT_SOURCES` dependencies
- Include path ordering: option-specific directory before standard `gen-cpp`
```cpp
// Generated with --gen cpp:moveable_types=forward_setter
struct TestStruct {
int32_t primitive_field;
std::string complex_field;
void __set_primitive_field(const int32_t val); // Traditional
template <typename T_>
void __set_complex_field(T_&& val); // Perfect forwarding
};
// In .tcc file:
template <typename T_>
void TestStruct::__set_complex_field(T_&& val) {
this->complex_field = ::std::forward<T_>(val);
__isset.complex_field = true;
}

- [ ] Did you create an [Apache Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/THRIFT/issues/) ticket? ([Request account here](https://selfserve.apache.org/jira-account.html), not required for trivial changes)
- [ ] If a ticket exists: Does your pull request title follow the pattern "THRIFT-NNNN: describe my issue"?
- [x] Did you squash your changes to a single commit? (not required, but preferred)
- [x] Did you do your best to avoid breaking changes? If one was needed, did you label the Jira ticket with "Breaking-Change"?
