Migrate to Shakapacker 9.0.0-beta.11 with SWC transpiler

This PR upgrades Shakapacker from beta.8 to beta.11 and migrates from
Babel to SWC for JavaScript transpilation, providing approximately 20x
faster build times.

Key Changes:
- Updated shakapacker gem to 9.0.0-beta.11
- Migrated from Babel to SWC transpiler via rake shakapacker:migrate_to_swc
- Created config/swc.config.js with React automatic runtime and keepClassNames for Stimulus
- Removed babel.config.js and most Babel dependencies from production
- Kept minimal Babel tooling in devDependencies for ESLint compatibility
- Updated Jest configuration to use @swc/jest instead of babel-jest
- Adjusted Ruby version to 3.4.3 to match available runtime

Build Verification:
- ReScript compilation successful
- Webpack builds complete successfully with SWC
- All RuboCop lints passing

Performance:
SWC provides significantly faster transpilation compared to Babel while
maintaining full compatibility with existing React and JavaScript code.
