perf(foundation): swap CBMHashTable internals to Verstable v2.2.1

Browse Source 
Replaces the prior Robin-Hood open-addressing implementation with
Verstable (https://github.com/JacksonAllan/Verstable), a 2024 state-
of-the-art C hash table. The public API in foundation/hash_table.h
is UNCHANGED — CBMHashTable is now an opaque type and all 14
production callers (graph_buffer, registry, pipeline passes,
service_patterns, watcher, semantic, etc.) get the new impl
transparently. str_intern.c keeps its specialised (ptr+len) hash —
different semantics, not a clean swap target.

Why: per-sub-phase profiling pinpointed cbm_pipeline_lsp_target_node
and cbm_registry_resolve as the dominant resolve_calls cost. Both
ultimately hit cbm_ht_get; both run millions of times on a kubernetes
index. Verstable's key innovations target exactly this:

  * 4-bit hash-fragment metadata in a uint16_t sidecar array lets
    chain walks skip most key comparisons WITHOUT touching the
    bucket payload (cache wins on hot lookups).
  * Quadratic probing with per-bucket displacement chains (not linear
    Robin-Hood psl).
  * Tombstone-free deletion that moves at most one existing key.

Vendored at internal/cbm/vendored/verstable/verstable.h (2069 lines,
84KB, MIT). Wrapped as a const char* → void* template inside
hash_table.c. The header struct is opaque (forward declaration only);
audited the entire tree — no caller accesses internals or takes
sizeof(CBMHashTable), so opacity is safe.

Test refactor: test_hash_table.c had two impl-specific tests:
  * ht_robin_hood_bounded_psl — Robin-Hood specific; removed.
    ht_stress_10000 covers the functional equivalent.
  * ht_power_of_two_capacity — renamed ht_create_small_capacity,
    replaced struct probes with a functional insert+lookup check.
ht_create_capacity_zero/one similarly de-internalised.

Benchmark on kubernetes (12 workers, 20,650 files):
- parallel_resolve wall: 36,376 -> 27,217 ms (-25.2%)
- pipeline.done total:   61,485 -> 51,745 ms (-15.8%)
- registry_build:        ~1,000 -> 779 ms (faster — registry uses
                         cbm_ht_set heavily during build)
- All 3,615 tests pass; hash_table suite 100% green
- ASan/UBSan/SEGV: none
- Peak RSS: ~6.83 GB
- Graph: nodes 297,082 -> 297,102 (+20, 0.007%), edges 1,155,444 ->
  1,154,025 (-1,419, -0.12%) — within tolerance; minor delta likely
  from hash-iteration-order differences affecting tie-breaks in
  resolution. Sanity (zod/serilog): nodes exact, edges within 0.1%.

Cumulative trajectory from broken-state baseline ~35 min on K8s ->
51.7s wall = ~40x total speedup.

/*
* hash_table.c — Robin Hood open-addressing hash table.
* hash_table.c — CBMHashTable backed by Verstable.
*
* Key design choices:
* - FNV-1a hash (fast, good distribution for strings)
* - Robin Hood insertion: on collision, the key with shorter probe
* distance yields its slot. This bounds max probe distance.
* - Backward-shift deletion: no tombstones needed.
* - Load factor 75% triggers 2x resize.
* Public API in hash_table.h is unchanged. Internals are a Verstable
* template instantiation (const char* → void*). Verstable is a 2024
* open-addressing hash table using quadratic probing with metadata
* stored separately from buckets (4-bit hash fragment + 11-bit
* displacement + 1-bit in-home-bucket flag per uint16_t). Documented
* in vendored/verstable/verstable.h.
*
* Why swap the prior Robin Hood implementation: cumulative profiling
* showed cbm_ht_get is a hot path in resolve_file_calls's per-call
* registry resolution. Verstable's 4-bit hash-fragment metadata
* sidesteps most key comparisons during chain walks, which the prior
* implementation could not.
*
* Lifetime: keys are BORROWED pointers (caller owns the strings).
* Verstable's KEY_TY is const char*; the templated comparison +
* hash use the standard vt_cmpr_string / vt_hash_string helpers.
