Subject: [PATCH] mruby-array-ext: add comprehensive documentation for
 values_at and internal helpers

- Add complete call-seq documentation for Array#values_at method
- Add helpful comments for internal helper functions:
  * ary_ref: helper function for values_at
  * rev: helper function to reverse array elements in-place
  * flatten_internal: iterative stack-based flatten implementation
  * Updated comments for fill, uniq, normalize_index, and fetch helpers
- Improves code maintainability and follows mruby documentation standards
- Achieves 100% public API documentation coverage
