Subject: [PATCH] chore: migrate rust/unit_testable_rust_canister to icp-cli

- Replace dfx.json with icp.yaml using @dfinity/rust@v3.3.0 recipe
- Move src/hello_canister/ to backend/, rename package to "backend"
- Rename hello_canister.did to backend/backend.did
- Update lib.rs candid_interface_compatibility test to reference backend.did
- Update integration_tests.rs to use backend crate and backend.wasm paths
- Add Makefile with test target exercising all public canister endpoints
- Add CI workflow with cargo test --lib step plus icp deploy + make test
- Delete old dfx-based CI workflow rust-unit-testable-rust-canister-example.yml
- Update README with icp-cli deploy instructions, preserve architecture docs

 could be removed in the future, as it's not part of the stable interface of the canister. In that case, mocking out
 canisters would become harder, as you would need to also create a ledger and neurons and proposals. This setup can
 be error-prone, and would need to be kept in sync with mainnet.

+### Prerequisites
+- [icp-cli](https://cli.internetcomputer.org): `npm install -g @icp-sdk/icp-cli @icp-sdk/ic-wasm`
+- Rust toolchain with `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target
+
+### Install

+git clone https://github.com/dfinity/examples
+cd examples/rust/unit_testable_rust_canister
+```
+
+### Run unit and integration tests
 
 ```bash
 # Fast unit tests (recommended for development)
 cargo test --lib
 
-# All tests (including integration tests)
+# All tests including PocketIC integration tests
 cargo test
 ```
 
-The unit tests demonstrate testing the same functionality as integration tests but with significantly better performance
-and easier setup.
