Module simd 

Shared SIMD-accelerated functions for posting list compression

This module provides platform-optimized implementations for common operations:

• Unpacking: Convert packed 8/16/32-bit values to u32 arrays
• Delta decoding: Prefix sum for converting deltas to absolute values
• Add one: Increment all values in an array (for TF decoding)

Supports:

• NEON on aarch64 (Apple Silicon, ARM servers)
• SSE/SSE4.1 on x86_64 (Intel/AMD)
• Scalar fallback for other architectures

Functions
