mruby-pack: add comprehensive call-seq documentation for all methods

Added complete call-seq documentation for all 3 public methods in the
pack gem, improving documentation coverage from 0% to 100%.

Documentation added:
- Array#pack: Pack array elements into binary string using template
- String#unpack: Unpack binary string into array using template
- String#unpack1: Unpack first value from binary string using template

Each method now includes:
- Clear method signatures with parameter and return types
- Comprehensive template directive reference table covering all supported formats
- Detailed descriptions of binary data packing/unpacking behavior
- Practical examples showing common usage patterns for different data types
- Notes about endianness, data type sizes, and string handling
- Cross-references between related methods

Template directives documented include:
- Integer types: C, c, S, s, L, l, Q, q (various sizes and signedness)
- Network/endian specific: n, N, v, V (network and little endian)
- Floating point: f, d (single and double precision)
- String types: A, a, Z (ASCII with different padding)
- Hex and binary: H, h (hex strings with nibble order)
- Special: x, X, @ (null bytes, positioning)

/*
* call-seq:
* array.pack(template) -> string
*
* Packs the contents of array into a binary string according to the
* directives in template. Directives are single characters from the
* table below. Each directive may be followed by a number indicating
* the number of times to repeat the directive.
*
* Template string directives:
* C - 8-bit unsigned integer (unsigned char)
* c - 8-bit signed integer (signed char)
* S - 16-bit unsigned integer, native endian (uint16_t)
* s - 16-bit signed integer, native endian (int16_t)
* L - 32-bit unsigned integer, native endian (uint32_t)
* l - 32-bit signed integer, native endian (int32_t)
* Q - 64-bit unsigned integer, native endian (uint64_t)
* q - 64-bit signed integer, native endian (int64_t)
* n - 16-bit unsigned integer, network byte order
* N - 32-bit unsigned integer, network byte order
* v - 16-bit unsigned integer, little endian
* V - 32-bit unsigned integer, little endian
* f - single precision float, native format
* d - double precision float, native format
* A - ASCII string, space padded
* a - ASCII string, null padded
* Z - null-terminated string
* H - hex string, high nibble first
* h - hex string, low nibble first
* x - null byte
* X - back up one byte
* @ - null fill to absolute position
*
* [1, 2, 3].pack("CCC") #=> "\x01\x02\x03"
* [1, 2].pack("S*") #=> "\x01\x00\x02\x00" (little endian)
* ["hello"].pack("A10") #=> "hello "
