Early-exit on optimal mapping, clean isBalanced, document scoring

- Add early exit in algorithm selection: if a mapping has ≤2 bond changes
  and zero fragment changes, skip remaining algorithms (saves ~15% on
  simple reactions)
- Refactor isBalanced() to use Map.merge() — cleaner, fewer lines
- Add countHeavyAtoms() helper for atom balance checking
- Add Javadoc to isChangeFeasible() explaining chemical rationale:
  Occam's razor — minimize bond changes, then energy, then fragments
- Log selected algorithm with scoring details for profiling
- Clean up informal warning messages
- Remove unused generic() import

135/135 tests pass. Total time: 6:41 min (was 6:49).
