feat(nuxt): support Nuxt 4 and pre-bundle pinia-orm in dev

Upgrades the module to @nuxt/kit 4 / module-builder 1 with an explicit
nuxt >=3.14 compatibility range. The module now adds pinia-orm to
vite's optimizeDeps.include (opt-out via piniaOrm.optimizeDeps: false)
to avoid dev server restarts when the first repository is used. Both
playgrounds run on Nuxt 4 with pinia 4 and @pinia/nuxt 1.

+## Dependency Optimization
+
+The module automatically adds `pinia-orm` to vite's `optimizeDeps.include`, so the dev server pre-bundles it and you don't get "new dependencies optimized — reloading" restarts when the first repository is used. If you want to handle dependency optimization yourself, disable it:

+  piniaOrm: {
