feat(buffers): add :L lowercase format spec to RawInterpolatedStringHandler (#2440)
## Summary

Adds a custom `:L` format specifier to `RawInterpolatedStringHandler`. When the format string is `"L"`, the handler lowercases the formatted value's chars in-place after the underlying `ISpanFormattable.TryFormat` / `IFormattable.ToString` path completes. Zero allocation, single-pass.

## Usage

```csharp
mob.SendMessage($"You earned a {rank:L} trophy!");           // "gold"
mob.SendMessage($"Welcome, {playerName:L}");                  // lowercased
mob.SendMessage($"{count:L} kills");                          // ints unchanged ("42")
```

## Motivation

Eliminates the `value.ToString().ToLowerInvariant()` two-allocation idiom that appears across the codebase for any type that goes through an interpolation handler. After this lands, content code can use the `:L` specifier directly instead of helper extensions or per-enum lookup tables.

## Coverage

- `AppendFormatted<T>(T value, string? format)` — generic path (covers IFormattable, ISpanFormattable, .ToString fallback)
- `AppendFormatted(ReadOnlySpan<char> value, int alignment, string? format)` — span path with alignment-aware lowercase range (only the value range is lowercased, not padding)
- `AppendFormatted<T>(T value, int alignment, string? format)` and `AppendFormatted(string? value, int alignment, string? format)` and `AppendFormatted(object? value, int alignment, string? format)` — inherit via delegation

The `format == "L"` comparison is case-sensitive — `:l` (lowercase L) is NOT recognized. `:L` matches the convention of e.g. `:N0` / `:F2` (numeric format specifiers traditionally use uppercase). `char.ToLowerInvariant` is used (not locale-dependent) for predictable game text.

## Future cleanup

Phase 3.3 (#2438) introduced a per-enum `TrophyRank.LowerName()` extension to eliminate `rank.ToString().ToLower()` allocations at 10 ConPVP sites. Once this PR lands, those sites can be simplified to `{rank:L}` and the `TrophyRankExtensions` helper can be removed. Tracked as a follow-up.
