feat: Add online sequence configuration foundation

[patelchaitany]

Summary

• Add the OnlineConfig dataclass with latest and sequence modes, retention limits, write semantics, and validation.
• Persist online configuration through FeatureView protobuf serialization and registry apply/update flows.
• Display online configuration in feature-views describe and document the experimental contract.
• Add focused coverage for validation, protobuf round trips, backward compatibility, registry apply/update/clear behavior, and CLI output.

Scope

This PR establishes the backward-compatible SDK and registry foundation for future sequence features. Online-store append, sequence retrieval, and backend-specific eviction are intentionally deferred to follow-up PRs.

Acceptance criteria

• OnlineConfig dataclass with mode, max_length, max_age, and write_mode
• FeatureView accepts online_config
• Proto serialization and deserialization
• Sequence validation requires append writes and positive max_length
• Existing behavior remains unchanged when online_config is omitted
• feast apply stores, updates, retrieves, and clears OnlineConfig
• feature-views describe displays configuration details

Validation

• 26 focused tests passed
• Ruff checks passed
• Scoped mypy checks passed for all changed Python modules
• Python protobuf generation and local Go protobuf generation validated
• Pre-commit format, lint, template, and secret checks passed

Full repository mypy currently requires the optional types-PyMySQL stub, which is not installed in the local environment.
