perf: vectorize counter/checksum detection (183s -> 2.8s on 500k frames)

Found by testing on a real 500k-frame Alfa Romeo Giulia capture (ReCAN
dataset): the iterrows × algorithms × bytes loop took 183s. Replaced with a
per-ID numpy pass — build the (N,8) byte matrix once and compute every
algorithm for every byte via total_xor ^ byte / (total_sum - byte) etc.
(XOR is self-inverse; sums are cumulative). Identical results (30 counters,
32 checksums, 34 IDs), 65x faster. Existing NaN-safety tests still pass.
