fsst opt DO NOT MERGE

[joseph-isaacs]

Inline the fsst-rs crate (v0.5.6) directly into vortex-fsst to enable
direct modification of the symbol table training algorithm. Key changes:

• Inline fsst-rs source into encodings/fsst/src/fsst_rs/ module
• Remove external fsst-rs dependency
• Re-export Compressor, CompressorBuilder, Decompressor, Symbol from crate root
• Add benchmark comparing FSST vs zstd/snappy on static datasets

Symbol table training optimizations:

• Increase training generations from 5 to 7 with more granular early rounds
• Double the sample target (16KB -> 32KB) for better pattern coverage
• Improve single-byte symbol gain boost (8x -> 12x) to reduce escape overhead
• Add length bonus to merged symbol scoring to favor longer symbols
• Account for escape overhead in gain heuristic

Results on static datasets (10K strings each):
Dataset | Before | After | Improvement
random_binary | 1.36x | 1.36x | -0.3%
urls | 2.50x | 2.91x | -14.0%
log_lines | 2.78x | 3.06x | -9.0%
json | 3.99x | 4.40x | -9.3%
emails | 3.54x | 4.06x | -12.8%

Compression throughput also improved 9-16% due to fewer escape codes.
Training time increased ~50% but remains under 2ms.

Why are we inlining the crate?
