Add indented bullet reflow test, improve undo edge cases, and bump version

- Added `test_reflow_indented_bullets.cc` to verify correct reflow handling for indented bullet points.
- Enhanced undo system with additional tests for cursor adjacency, explicit grouping, branching, newline independence, and dirty-state tracking.
- Introduced external modification detection for files and required confirmation before overwrites.
- Refactored buffer save logic to use atomic writes and track on-disk identity.
- Updated CMake to include new test files and bumped version to 1.6.4.
