perf: major encode/decode optimization via const copy_from_slice and batch zero fill

Encode: rewrite to two-pass (scan + copy_from_slice) leveraging Rust 1.93's
const fn copy_from_slice for memcpy at runtime while keeping const fn encode.
Sub-slice scan pattern helps LLVM eliminate bounds checks. Added zero byte
fast path for all-zeros workloads. Now leads corncobs on nonzero/mixed encode.

Decode: batch consecutive 0x01 codes (all-zeros data) and fill zeros via
memset instead of per-byte loop. Decode zeros throughput jumps from ~1.2 GB/s
to ~4.6 GB/s, now 3x faster than corncobs on that workload.

Bump MSRV 1.83 → 1.93 for const copy_from_slice.
Update dev-deps: cobs 0.3→0.5, criterion 0.5→0.8, rand 0.8→0.10.
