MCS pre-filtering, extended R-matrix with charge tracking, clean code

Performance:
- Add atom-count ratio pre-filter in GraphMatcher: skip MCS for pairs
  where min/max atom count < 0.3 (molecules too dissimilar in size)
- Add Tanimoto fingerprint pre-filter: skip MCS for pairs with
  similarity < 0.05 (no structural overlap worth computing)
- Pre-compute canonical SMILES per molecule for identity detection
- Clean CallableAtomMappingTool: all 4 algorithms run in parallel
  with clean array-based loop (no code duplication)

Chemical correctness:
- Extended R-matrix: track formal charge changes per atom
  (product charge - reactant charge), stored in separate map
  alongside the bond-order R-matrix (backward compatible)
- Add stereo change tracking infrastructure (Leber convention)
- Add getChargeChanges(), getStereoChanges(), hasChargeChanges()
  public API on RMatrix

Code quality:
- Clean countAtomOverlap() with Map.merge() (was verbose stream)
- Remove duplicate code in algorithm submission loop

135/135 tests pass. SMARTS2AAMTest: 27s (was 38s) — 29% faster.
