chore(Grove): Update Rust dependencies and refine WASM error handling

This commit performs a major dependency upgrade cycle for the Grove Element, updating core crates to their latest stable versions for improved performance and security. Key updates include tokio 1.35→1.49, wasmtime 20→42, tonic/tonic-build 0.11→0.12, and the opentelemetry stack (0.23→0.31). The nix dependency and ipc feature flag were removed as they are no longer required.

Additionally, the WASM runtime error handling in ModuleLoader.rs and Runtime.rs has been refined to use direct anyhow conversion instead of the context pattern, providing more precise error messages while maintaining the same error semantics.

The build.rs script includes a TODO noting the downgrade of vergen from 9.x to 8.x to maintain API compatibility, along with a fix for tonic-build's API change (compile → compile_protos).
