feat: Add Attribute Rules

[acneville]

Adding attribute rules as per the specs for UTRANS

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR introduces an Attribute Rule toolkit for UTRANS, including Python scripts to deploy/manage ArcGIS attribute rules from .arcade files, a Node/Vitest-based test harness to validate Arcade expressions in CI, and initial Arcade rule scripts plus documentation.

Changes:

• Add Python deploy utilities (deploy_ar.py, deploy_all_ar.py, new_ar.py) for idempotent / add-only / alter-only attribute rule management.
• Add an attribute-rules/ Node workspace with Vitest tests that compile/execute Arcade via @arcgis/core in CI.
• Add multiple .arcade calculation/constraint rules and update repo docs/editor/CI automation to support the new workflow.

This is really cool! I feel like this will be useful in many other places in our office. Nice work!

What do you think of standardizing on two spaces for indentation in arcade scripts to match what we do with JS/TS? We usually use four spaces for python. There are some .py files here that need to be updated. I have a useful VSCode extension for doing this type of thing if you are interested.

Thanks Scott! I just pushed some arcade updates to enforce 2-line tabs.
