Fix tstop overshoot error with StaticArrays using next_step_tstop flag

Addresses issue #2752 where StaticArrays trigger "stepped past tstops" errors
due to tiny floating-point precision differences in tstop distance calculations.

Changes:
- Add next_step_tstop flag and tstop_target field to ODEIntegrator
- Modify modify_dt_for_tstops! to detect when dt is reduced for tstops
- Add handle_tstop_step! function for exact tstop handling
- Modify main stepping loop to use flag-based tstop stepping
- Skip perform_step! for extremely small dt (< eps(t)) and snap directly
- Guarantee exact tstop landing to eliminate floating-point errors

This eliminates the precision-dependent overshoot that occurs when
StaticArrays and regular Arrays produce slightly different arithmetic
results in the tstop distance calculations due to compiler optimizations.
