chore: increase MSRV to 1.87.0

[Copilot]

Increases the minimum supported Rust version from 1.86.0 to 1.87.0.

Changes

• Updated MSRV to 1.87.0 in Cargo.toml, src/lib.rs, and .github/copilot-instructions.md
• Added MSRV update guide to copilot instructions documenting all locations requiring updates
• Noted that .github/workflows/tests.yml dynamically reads MSRV from Cargo.toml via awk, requiring no manual updates

Stabilized features in 1.87

No code changes needed. The newly stabilized features (offset_of!, ptr::without_provenance, BTreeMap::try_insert) are not applicable to this codebase's existing patterns.
