Subject: [PATCH] build(release): enable thin LTO + codegen-units=1 in release
 profile

Cuts ~150 ms (-2.5 %) off the compare harness via better cross-crate
inlining of small Pareto/HV helpers. Costs ~20 s extra on a from-
scratch `cargo build --release`, but is essentially free on
incremental rebuilds.

Only applies when this crate is the workspace root (i.e. when
developing heuropt or running its own examples). Downstream users
who consume heuropt as a dependency see whatever profile their own
Cargo.toml configures.
