chore(ruff): standardize optional union ordering

[Light2Dark]

This pull request was authored by a coding agent.

📝 Summary

Enable Ruff’s RUF036 check and remove it from the global ignore list.

Optional type unions now place None last, giving annotations a consistent shape and preventing new ordering drift. This is an annotation-only change; unions used by msgspec remain unambiguous because their None branch does not overlap the other variants.

Ruff 0.16.7, focused serialization and export tests, and make check pass.
