perf: add zero-allocation originalPositionBuf for WASM lookups matching JS speed

Uses a static buffer in WASM linear memory that JS reads directly via
Int32Array, eliminating all allocation and copying overhead. Benchmarks:
- 27-33ns per lookup (vs 25-26ns for trace-mapping, vs 90ns for flat, vs 800ns for object)
- Effectively matches pure JS source map lookup performance from WASM
