feat: Pre-install OR-Tools and PuLP optimization solvers

- Add OR-Tools (Google's optimization suite) to /opt/ortools
- Add PuLP (Python Linear Programming) to core packages
- Fix protobuf version conflicts by separating OR-Tools environment
- Update PYTHONPATH to include /opt/ortools
- Remove yfinance to avoid protobuf 6.x conflicts
- Fix uv.toml syntax error
- Update documentation with OR-Tools usage examples

OR-Tools includes: GLOP, CBC, SCIP, CP-SAT solvers
PuLP includes: CBC solver for linear programming

Image size: ~2.57GB
Python: 3.12.11

+
+OR-Tools is fully pre-installed with the following solvers:
+
+- **GLOP**: Google's linear programming solver (for LP problems)
+- **CBC**: COIN-OR Branch and Cut solver (for MILP problems)
+- **SCIP**: Solving Constraint Integer Programs (for MILP/MINLP)
+- **CP-SAT**: Constraint Programming SAT solver (for constraint programming)
+
+**Protobuf Compatibility**:
+- OR-Tools uses protobuf 5.x (managed by Nix)
+- Separate environment prevents conflicts with other packages
+- `ignoreCollisions` enabled in buildEnv for seamless integration
+
+**Note**: `yfinance` is excluded from pre-installation due to protobuf 6.x requirement. Install it via `uv` if needed.
