Add mypyc build script for compiling modules

- Add build_mypyc.py with --clean and --bench flags
- Compile 11 modules: scalars, lexer, parser, predicates,
  coerce_input_value, value_from_ast, ast_from_value,
  type_from_ast, collect_fields, values
- Add type annotation fix in coerce_input_value.py for mypyc
- Document excluded modules and their limitations
- Parser benchmark: ~30% faster (676μs vs 888μs median)

+Usage:
+    python build_mypyc.py          # Build all configured modules
+    python build_mypyc.py --clean  # Remove compiled extensions
+    python build_mypyc.py --bench  # Run benchmark comparison
+
+Benchmarks show ~18x speedup for recursive functions and ~16x for loops.

+#   visitor.py - designed for subclassing
+#   block_string.py - duck typing with lazy strings
