perf: optimize FTS and HNSW engines + real PostgreSQL benchmarks

FTS Engine (src/barabadb/fts/engine.nim):
- Fix bm25Score doing O(n) linear scan per document
- Cache IDF per token instead of recomputing for each doc
- Use entry.termFreq directly instead of searching postings again
- Result: FTS search +438% (249 -> 1360 queries/s)

HNSW Vector Engine (src/barabadb/vector/engine.nim):
- Optimize distance functions with float32 + 4x loop unrolling
- Rewrite searchLayer: swap+pop instead of O(n) del, track worst-nearest
  instead of sorting nearest on every iteration
- Result: HNSW insert +117% (245 -> 543 ops/s), search 2.2x faster

Benchmarks:
- Add real PostgreSQL comparison script (benchmarks/pg_bench.py)
- Add report generator (benchmarks/generate_report.py)
- Fix compare.nim cpuTime() bug (was dividing by 1M incorrectly)
- Add nimble tasks: bench_pg, bench_report

Docs:
- Update README.md and docs/en/performance.md with real measured numbers
- Add benchmarks/REAL_COMPARISON.md

Version bump: 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8

+# BaraDB vs PostgreSQL — Real Benchmark Results
+
+Generated from actual execution on:
+- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
+- **PostgreSQL:** 15.18 (local)
+- **BaraDB:** git `42043f3`
+
+## Methodology
+
+- PostgreSQL: single-row INSERT/SELECT via psycopg2 (client-server overhead included)
+- BaraDB: in-process Nim code (no network overhead)
+- Same dataset sizes for both systems
+
+## Results
+
+| Test | PostgreSQL | BaraDB | Speedup |
+|------|-----------|--------|---------|
+| KV Write (100K) | 16.82K/s (5.946s) | 32.23K/s (3.103s) | 1.9x (BaraDB) |
+| KV Read (100K) | 15.08K/s (6.630s) | 3.95M/s (25.3ms) | 261.9x (BaraDB) |
+| BTree Insert (100K) | 17.66K/s (5.664s) | 2.52M/s (39.7ms) | 142.8x (BaraDB) |
+| BTree Get (100K) | 14.50K/s (6.899s) | 2.34M/s (42.7ms) | 161.4x (BaraDB) |
+| BTree Scan (1K ranges) | 2.39K/s (419.2ms) | 11.03M/s (1.0ms) | 4623.3x (BaraDB) |
+| FTS Index (10K docs) | 17.98K/s (556.3ms) | 119.99K/s (83.3ms) | 6.7x (BaraDB) |
+| FTS Search (1K queries) | 784.12/s (1.275s) | 1.36K/s (734.0ms) | 1.7x (BaraDB) |
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Total PostgreSQL time:** 27.389s
+- **Total BaraDB time:** 4.029s
+- **Overall speedup:** BaraDB is **6.8x faster**
+
+## Notes
+
+- PostgreSQL includes network round-trip and SQL parsing overhead per operation.
+- BaraDB runs in-process with zero serialization/network cost.
+- For embedded/single-node use cases, BaraDB shows significant advantage.
+- BaraDB now outperforms PostgreSQL on all tested metrics including FTS search after optimizations.
+- PostgreSQL excels at durability, replication, and complex ACID transactions.
