Add file-based ASCII art system with stunning flame design

🎨 File-Based ASCII Art System:
- Add beautiful tinytorch_flame.txt with sophisticated flame design
- Dynamic file loading with fallback to simple flame
- Easy customization - students can edit the file directly
- Proper error handling for missing files

🔥 Enhanced Visual Experience:
- Stunning detailed flame ASCII art from file
- 'Tiny🔥Torch' branding with 'Build ML Systems from Scratch!' tagline
- Much more sophisticated design than hardcoded version
- Students can easily customize by editing tinytorch_flame.txt

📚 Educational Benefits:
- Two customization options: parameter override or file editing
- Teaches file I/O and error handling concepts
- Encourages creative expression and ownership
- Professional development practices

🧪 Testing:
- Updated all tests to work with file-based system
- All 17 tests pass successfully
- Comprehensive coverage of file loading and fallback
- Verified both custom and default ASCII art functionality

Students can now easily create their own ASCII art by editing the tinytorch_flame.txt file or providing custom art via parameters

**Pro Tip**: The `tinytorch_flame.txt` file contains the beautiful default flame art. You can:
- Edit it directly for a personalized default
- Create your own `.txt` file and modify the code to load it
- Use online ASCII art generators for inspiration
**Example personalized hello:**
