Exec Policy Engine for PraisonAI Agents.

Provides policy-based execution control:

* Define rules for what agents can/cannot do
* Tool execution policies
* Resource access control
* Rate limiting and quotas

Zero Performance Impact:

* All imports are lazy loaded via **getattr**
* Policies only evaluated when enabled
* No overhead when no policies defined

Usage:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents.policy import PolicyEngine, Policy, PolicyRule

# Create a policy engine
engine = PolicyEngine()

# Add a policy
policy = Policy(
    name="no_delete",
    rules=[
        PolicyRule(
            action="deny",
            resource="tool:delete_*",
            reason="Delete operations are not allowed"
        )
    ]
)
engine.add_policy(policy)

# Check if action is allowed
result = engine.check("tool:delete_file", context={})
```

## Import

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import policy
```
