Refactor Config to use generic HKD utilities

Extract generic Higher-Kinded Data (HKD) functionality into a new
TerranixCodegen.Config.Generic module that can be reused across the codebase.

Key changes:
- Add TerranixCodegen.Config.Generic module with generic HKD operations
- Implement completeHKD for validation and Last -> Identity conversion
- Implement readEnvHKD for reading environment variables generically
- Use casing library for camelCase to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE conversion
- Refactor Config module to use generic utilities (simpler implementation)
- Update CLI.Commands to use ValidationError instead of ConfigError
- Update tests to match new API (completeConfig takes list, new error type)

Benefits:
- Generic completion works for any HKD type with Generic instance
- Generic environment reading automatically handles field name conversion
- Reduced boilerplate in Config module
- Type-safe with compile-time validation via type-level strings
- All 158 tests passing

The generic module uses GHC.Generics to traverse HKD structures and provides
reusable functionality for any future HKD configuration types.

+# Configuration Examples
+
+This directory contains example configuration files for terranix-codegen.
+
+## Configuration File Format
+
+The configuration file uses JSON format and supports the following options:
+
+### `terranix-codegen.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "terraformExecutable": "tofu",
+  "outputDirectory": "./terranix-modules"
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### `terraformExecutable` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: String (file path or command name)
+- **Default**: `"tofu"`
+- **Description**: The Terraform or OpenTofu executable to use for schema extraction.
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- `"tofu"` - Use OpenTofu (default)
+- `"terraform"` - Use Terraform
+- `"/usr/local/bin/terraform"` - Use specific path
+
+### `outputDirectory` (optional)
+
+- **Type**: String (directory path)
+- **Default**: `"./terranix-modules"`
+- **Description**: Directory where generated Nix modules will be written.
+
+**Examples**:
+
+- `"./terranix-modules"` - Relative to current directory (default)
+- `"/absolute/path/modules"` - Absolute path
+- `"./providers"` - Custom relative directory
+
+## Configuration Precedence
+
+Configuration values are merged from multiple sources with the following precedence (highest to lowest):
+
+1. **CLI flags** - Command-line arguments (e.g., `--terraform-executable terraform`)
+1. **Environment variables**:
+   - `TERRANIX_CODEGEN_TERRAFORM_EXECUTABLE`
+   - `TERRANIX_CODEGEN_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`
+1. **Config file** - Specified with `--config` flag
+1. **Defaults** - Built-in defaults
+
+The configuration system uses higher-kinded data (HKD) with the `Last` monoid to merge
+configurations. Later values in the precedence chain override earlier ones. This is
+implemented using quantified constraints to allow generic merging of configuration values.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Using a config file
+
+```bash
+# Specify config file with --config flag
+terranix-codegen generate -p aws --config terranix-codegen.json
+
+# Short form
+terranix-codegen generate -p aws -c terranix-codegen.json
+```
+
+### Overriding config file values
+
+```bash
+# Config file sets terraformExecutable to "tofu", but CLI overrides it
+terranix-codegen generate -p aws -c config.json -t terraform
+```
+
+### Using environment variables
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export TERRANIX_CODEGEN_TERRAFORM_EXECUTABLE=terraform
+export TERRANIX_CODEGEN_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=/tmp/modules
+
+# Run without config file - uses env vars
+terranix-codegen generate -p aws
+```
+
+### Combining all sources
+
+```bash
+# Environment variable
+export TERRANIX_CODEGEN_TERRAFORM_EXECUTABLE=tofu
+
+# Config file has: {"outputDirectory": "./modules"}
+# CLI overrides output directory
+terranix-codegen generate -p aws -c config.json -o /custom/output
+
+# Result: uses tofu (env), /custom/output (CLI)
+```
+
+## Minimal Configurations
+
+### Just override terraform executable
+
+```json
+{
+  "terraformExecutable": "terraform"
+}
+```
+
+### Just override output directory
+
+```json
+{
+  "outputDirectory": "/var/lib/terranix-modules"
+}
+```
+
+### Empty config (use all defaults)
+
+```json
+{}
+```
