Add PrecompileTools workload to reduce TTFX

This PR adds a precompilation workload using PrecompileTools.jl to
significantly reduce time-to-first-X (TTFX) for common operations.

## Changes

- Added PrecompileTools as a dependency
- Created `src/precompilation.jl` with workloads for:
  - VectorOfArray creation
  - DiffEqArray creation
  - Basic indexing operations
  - Broadcasting operations
  - Array conversions
  - ArrayPartition operations
  - recursive_mean, recursivecopy

## Performance Improvements (TTFX)

| Operation | Before (ms) | After (ms) | Improvement |
|-----------|------------|-----------|-------------|
| VectorOfArray creation | 350 | 48 | **7.4x faster** |
| Indexing operations | 289 | 0.8 | **361x faster** |
| Broadcasting | 185 | 0.6 | **308x faster** |
| Array conversion | 138 | 0.6 | **230x faster** |
| ArrayPartition + recursive_mean | 83 | 0.7 | **119x faster** |
| **Total TTFX** | **1399** | **358** | **3.9x faster** |

Precompilation time increases from ~2.8s to ~4.3s, but the 1+ second
savings in TTFX makes this a worthwhile tradeoff.
