Add head builtin

[owen499]

Summary

• POSIX-flavoured head [-n N] [file] builtin: prints the first N lines (default 10) of the given file, or stdin when no file is supplied
• Wired into check_builtin() so it dispatches in-process without forking an external head
• Added srcs/builtin/head.c to the Makefile and a prototype in includes/minishell.h

Behaviour

• -n N parses the line count via ft_atoi; when omitted defaults to 10
• Reads stdin in 4096-byte chunks when no file is given, otherwise opens the path with O_RDONLY
• On open failure prints a <name>: no such file message to stdout and sets g_status = 1

42 Norm

• 5 functions, each ≤25 lines and ≤5 locals
• Reuses libft helpers (ft_strequ, ft_atoi, ft_memcpy, ft_strlen)

Test plan

• echo -e 'a\nb\nc\nd' | ./minishell -c 'head -n 2' prints a and b
• ./minishell -c 'head Makefile' prints the first 10 lines of the Makefile
• ./minishell -c 'head /no/such/file' prints the no-such-file diagnostic and exits with 1
• ./minishell -c 'head' mirrors stdin until 10 newlines are seen

Summary by cubic

Adds a POSIX-style head builtin that prints the first N lines from a file or stdin (default 10). Runs in-process via check_builtin() to avoid forking.

• New Features
  • Usage: head [-n N] [file]; reads stdin when no file is provided.
  • Errors: on open failure prints ": no such file" and sets g_status = 1.
  • Integration: added srcs/builtin/head.c, declared run_head in includes/minishell.h, and wired into check_builtin().
