Subject: [PATCH] mruby-eval: add comprehensive call-seq documentation for all
 methods

Added complete call-seq documentation for all 5 public methods in the
eval gem, improving documentation coverage from 0% to 100%.

Documentation added:
- eval: Evaluate Ruby expressions with optional binding and file context
- Object#instance_eval: Evaluate code in the context of an object instance
- Module#class_eval/module_eval: Evaluate code in the context of a class/module
- Binding#eval: Evaluate code within a specific binding context

Each method now includes:
- Clear method signatures with parameter and return types
- Detailed descriptions of evaluation context and scope behavior
- Comprehensive examples showing practical usage patterns
- Notes about binding objects, file/line reporting, and block alternatives
- Explanations of self context changes and variable access
- Security and error handling considerations

Key documentation features:
- String vs block evaluation differences explained
- Binding context usage with practical examples
- Instance variable and private method access patterns
- Class/module modification examples
- Error reporting with filename and line number context
