Protocols SPARQL Protocol

The CLI/server implements SPARQL 1.1 Protocol plus the SPARQL 1.1 Graph Store Protocol over HTTP; the core is also a Rust library shipped with Python (pyoxigraph) and JS/WASM bindings for embedded use. Dropped the draft's generic HTTP/REST tag since the only HTTP surface is the SPARQL/Graph Store protocol, and added Embedded (in-process) for the library form.
