Add max_memory parameter for parallel streaming reproject (#1045)

The streaming path (for datasets > ~1TB) now uses ThreadPoolExecutor
with bounded concurrency based on the max_memory budget:

  reproject(huge_raster, 'EPSG:3857', max_memory='4GB')

The budget controls how many output tiles can be processed in
parallel. Numba kernels release the GIL, so threads give real
parallelism. Memory stays bounded:

  max_memory='4GB', tile=2048x2048: ~42 concurrent tiles
  max_memory='16GB', tile=2048x2048: ~170 concurrent tiles

Accepts int (bytes) or strings: '512MB', '4GB', '1TB'.
Default is 1GB when not specified.

On a 512x512 test with 256x256 tiles:
  Sequential (32MB budget): 233ms
  Parallel (4GB budget):     24ms -- 10x faster, identical output
