Add BasicType system with type-safe storage and configurable locking

[naftaly]

Summary

This PR introduces BasicType - a type-safe wrapper system for memory-mapped storage - along with major performance optimizations and architectural improvements to the MemoryMap library.

Key Features

• BasicType System: Type-safe containers for Int, String, Double, Bool with three size variants:

  • BasicType8 (BasicTypeNumber): 10 bytes - optimized for numeric types
  • BasicType64: 62 bytes - general purpose with short strings (~60 chars)
  • BasicType1024: 1022 bytes - for longer strings (~1000 chars)

• Lock Abstraction: Flexible locking via MemoryMapLock protocol

  • OSAllocatedUnfairLock (default) - high performance
  • NoLock - zero-cost for single-threaded use
  • NSLock - standard Foundation lock
  • Custom lock support

• Performance Optimizations:

  • ~11-12μs per KeyValueStore lookup, consistent across 25%-99% load factors
  • Direct buffer access via withUnsafeBytes eliminates subscript overhead
  • @inline(__always) on hot paths
  • Double hashing with FNV-1a for excellent distribution

• Architectural Improvements:

  • ByteStorage layer with tuple-based storage maintains POD compliance
  • KeyValueStore+Internal.swift separates implementation details
  • Minimized disk writes with direct field modification patterns

Breaking Changes

KeyValueStore API Change: Now requires Key and Value type parameters

// Before
let store = try KeyValueStore<UserData>(fileURL: url)

// After  
let store = try KeyValueStore<BasicType64, UserData>(fileURL: url)
store["user:123"] = userData  // String literals work automatically

Testing & CI

• New test suites: BasicType benchmarks, cache locality, capacity comparisons, mixed operations
• Enhanced CI: New test.yml workflow for multi-platform testing (macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS)
• Improved benchmarks: Detailed performance reporting across core operations, load factors, bulk operations, stress tests

Test Plan

• All existing tests pass
• New BasicType tests verify correctness across all supported types
• Load factor benchmarks confirm consistent performance (11-12μs) from 25%-99% capacity
• Multi-platform CI validates macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS support
• Performance benchmarks show <2.5ms for 200 lookups (main-thread safe)
• Lock abstraction tested with NoLock, NSLock, default lock

Performance Characteristics

Main Thread Budget

• ✅ Excellent: <10ms - Perfect for UI interactions
• ✅ Good: 10-50ms - Acceptable for most operations
• ⚠️ OK: 50-100ms - Use with caution on main thread
• ❌ Review: >100ms - Consider background thread

Capacity & Optimization

• Fixed capacity: 256 entries
• Recommended usage: ≤200 keys for optimal performance
• Memory footprint: ~306KB per store
• Key optimizations: Double hashing, @inline(__always), direct buffer access via withUnsafeBytes
