swaits 0ea09bdf82 perf(hype): reuse the per-sample dominators buffer
`estimate_contributions` heap-allocated a fresh `dominators: Vec<usize>`
on every Monte Carlo sample — thousands of alloc/free pairs per call.
Hoist it out of the sample loop and `clear()` it each iteration.

Bit-identical. In the compare_profile benchmark this removed ~4.2M
malloc/free pairs, dropping `malloc` + `free` self-Ir by ~0.24B.

//! `Hype` — Bader & Zitzler 2011 Hypervolume Estimation Algorithm.
//!
//! HypE replaces the exact hypervolume contribution used in SMS-EMOA with
//! a Monte Carlo estimate, so it scales to arbitrary objective counts at
