- Migrate from legacy filename-based CLI tests to clean .cmd format
- Convert comment-based failure tests to explicit .fail files
- Replace tests_v2.sh with enhanced tests.sh as primary test runner
- Add --verbose and --test flags for improved debugging capabilities
- Implement version-agnostic testing to prevent build-dependent failures
- Add comprehensive test suite covering 81 scenarios:
  * Core logic (7 tests): rewrite pipeline, variables, renaming, filters
  * YAML parsing (13 tests): edge cases, multiline, type handling
  * Unicode/encoding (8 tests): UTF-8, control chars, escape sequences
  * Error handling (6 tests): syntax, regex, type validation
  * Advanced features (5 tests): complex patterns, edge cases
  * Real-world formats (5 tests): Apache, nginx, Docker, syslog logs
  * Boundary testing (12 tests): limits, empty values, long strings
  * CLI integration (2 tests): inject, filter behavior

All tests pass and framework includes detailed troubleshooting documentation.

…log2journal

Major architectural improvements to log2journal configuration parsing:

🔧 **YAML Parser Migration**
- Replace custom event-based YAML parser with libnetdata's unified parser
- Add YAML2JSON_FLAGS enum with YAML2JSON_ALL_VALUES_AS_STRINGS support
- Ensure consistent parsing behavior across all Netdata components
- Delete 500+ lines of custom parser code in favor of 200 lines using libnetdata

🚀 **JSON-C Parser Macro Enhancements**
- Enhanced all scalar conversion macros for maximum type flexibility
- JSONC_PARSE_INT64/DOUBLE/BOOL now convert between all scalar types
- String macros now accept int/double/boolean with proper conversion
- Replace snprintf with optimized Netdata print_int64()/print_netdata_double()
- Add comprehensive endptr validation for string-to-number conversions

🔒 **Robust Type Validation**
- Fix JSONC_PARSE_SUBOBJECT/ARRAY to always validate types when field present
- Implement "try everything, fail only when impossible" conversion philosophy
- Proper error logic: required=false allows missing fields but rejects invalid types
- Enhanced boolean parsing: strings ("yes"/"no"), integers (0/1), doubles (0.0/1.0)

🧪 **Enhanced Testing Framework**
- Comprehensive unit test coverage with 100+ test cases
- Add .fail file support for testing error conditions
- Version-agnostic test comparisons for error messages
- Improved test runner with better error reporting and exit code validation
- Test boundary conditions, edge cases, and real-world log formats

✨ **Configuration Robustness**
- Support scalar type coercion (string "123" → int 123, bool "yes" → true)
- Reject fundamentally incompatible types (string → array/object)
- Maintain backward compatibility while adding flexibility
- Consistent error messages across all validation failures

This migration unifies log2journal with Netdata's standard parsing infrastructure
while dramatically improving type conversion flexibility and error handling.
