Add tests for dead code elimination optimization

Adds comprehensive tests to verify that the callBackToMethodValue function
properly supports dead code elimination by using explicit string constants
instead of the anti-pattern of MethodByName(string(variable)).

The tests serve multiple purposes:
1. Functional verification - Ensure callback detection works correctly
2. Problem demonstration - Running with -dumpdep shows the issue
3. Before/after comparison - Proves the optimization works

Evidence from go test -ldflags=-dumpdep:

BROKEN VERSION (without fix):
- ParseWithSpecialTableName <ReflectMethod> -> reflect.Value.MethodByName
- Shows <ReflectMethod> tag indicating poor dead code elimination

FIXED VERSION (with callBackToMethodValue):
- ParseWithSpecialTableName -> gorm.io/gorm/schema.callBackToMethodValue
- NO <ReflectMethod> tag, proving dead code elimination is working

The <ReflectMethod> tag elimination confirms that explicit string constants
allow the Go compiler and linker to perform proper dead code elimination,
while the anti-pattern MethodByName(string(variable)) breaks this optimization.

Tests verify:
- Callback detection works correctly with explicit string constants
- Functionality is preserved compared to models without callbacks
- The fix maintains backward compatibility
- Regression protection against future anti-pattern reintroduction
- Build-time optimization verification via dumpdep analysis

While this fix is implementation-dependent, it's a necessary workaround for
the fundamental incompatibility between reflection and dead code elimination.
