Optimize Fibonacci.fibonacciSequence
The optimization replaced the naive recursive `fibonacci(i)` call inside the loop (which recomputed overlapping subproblems exponentially) with an iterative approach that builds the sequence in a single forward pass, reusing `result[i-1]` and `result[i-2]`. The original profiler shows `result[i] = fibonacci(i)` consumed 94% of runtime at ~37 µs per call due to exponential tree traversal; the optimized version computes each element in constant time by direct addition. Runtime improved 27% (230 µs → 181 µs) with no correctness regressions across all test cases.
