Optimize leapfrog_integration

The optimized code achieves a **~461x speedup** (46,112% improvement) by applying **Numba JIT compilation** with the `@numba.njit(cache=True)` decorator. This transforms Python bytecode into optimized machine code, which is crucial for computationally intensive numerical algorithms like N-body simulations.

**Key optimizations:**

1. **JIT Compilation (`@numba.njit`)**: The decorator compiles the function to native machine code on first execution, eliminating Python's interpreter overhead. This is particularly effective for the triple-nested loop structure computing ~350K pairwise particle interactions (visible in line profiler showing 351,486 hits for inner loop operations).

2. **Cache enabling (`cache=True`)**: Saves compiled machine code to disk, avoiding recompilation overhead on subsequent runs—beneficial when the function is called repeatedly.

3. **Precomputed constants**: `half_dt = 0.5 * dt` and `softening_sq = softening * softening` are hoisted outside loops, eliminating redundant multiplications that were previously executed ~39K times per simulation (3 velocity updates × 12,932 particles × n_steps).

**Why this speeds up the code:**

The original line profiler shows the innermost loop operations (computing distances, forces, and accelerations) consume ~80% of total runtime. These tight numerical loops with scalar arithmetic are ideal candidates for Numba, which:
- Eliminates CPython's dynamic type checking and function call overhead
- Applies LLVM optimizations like vectorization and loop unrolling
- Keeps intermediate values in CPU registers instead of creating temporary Python objects

**Test case performance patterns:**

- **Small particle counts** (2-3 particles): 20-40x speedup, showing JIT overhead is minimal even for simple cases
- **Medium systems** (20-50 particles): 200-540x speedup, where O(N²) pairwise computations dominate
- **Large systems** (100 particles): 540x speedup, demonstrating scalability as the pairwise interaction count (N×(N-1)/2) grows quadratically

The optimization is universally beneficial across all test scenarios—from single particles to dense 100-particle clusters—making it ideal for any N-body simulation workload regardless of system size or timestep configuration.
