feat(csharp-ls): allow runtime dependency overrides via ls_specific_settings

Add configurable runtime dependency system for language servers:
- New RuntimeDependencyLoader for loading platform-specific dependencies
- Extended SerenaConfig with language_server_dependencies field
- Updated configuration template with ARM64 examples
- Modified CSharpLanguageServer to use dependency loader

This enables adding platform support (like ARM64) via YAML configuration
without requiring code changes and PRs.
