feat: add benchmarks, justfile, optimize throughput, harden quality gates

Benchmarking & comparison:
- Add criterion benchmarks (ucobs vs cobs 0.3 vs corncobs 0.1)
- Add Python cobs benchmark script
- Add performance comparison section to README with full results

Performance:
- Rewrite encode to scan-and-bulk-copy via copy_from_slice
- Rewrite decode to bulk-copy via copy_from_slice
- ~2-4x throughput improvement; now matches corncobs on most workloads

Quality hardening:
- Add #![forbid(unsafe_code)], #![warn(missing_docs)], #[must_use]
- Add [lints.rust] unsafe_code = "forbid" in Cargo.toml
- Add rust-version (MSRV) = "1.56"
- Add docs.rs metadata
- 106 tests: 80 unit/corpus + 25 property tests (25k cases each = 625k total)
- External test vectors from: Wikipedia, Cheshire & Baker paper, nanocobs,
  cobs-c, cobs2-rs, Jacques Fortier, Python cobs package
- Add fuzz_small_dest fuzz target (encode/decode with undersized buffers)
- Improve doc examples to show sentinel append/strip convention

Infrastructure:
- Add justfile with test (nextest), check, bench, fuzz, miri, fmt targets
- cargo-nextest for parallel test execution
- Update .gitignore for Python cache files
