perf(brain): P1-P4 optimizations — SIMD search, quality gate, batch graph, incremental LoRA (#350)

ADR-149 implementation: four independent performance optimizations
for the pi.ruv.io brain server.

P1: SIMD cosine similarity (2.5x search speedup)
  - Wire ruvector-core::simd_intrinsics::cosine_similarity_simd
    into graph.rs, voice.rs, symbolic.rs
  - NEON (Apple Silicon), AVX2/AVX-512 (Cloud Run) auto-detected
  - Add ruvector-core as dependency (default-features=false)

P2: Quality-gated search (1.7x + cleaner results)
  - Default min_quality=0.01 in search API (skip noise)
  - Add quality field to GraphNode, skip low-quality in edge building
  - Backward compatible: min_quality=0 returns everything

P3: Batch graph rebuild (10-20x faster cold start)
  - New rebuild_from_batch() processes all memories in single pass
  - Cache-friendly contiguous embedding iteration
  - Early-exit heuristic: partial dot product on first 25% of dims
  - Wired into Firestore hydration + rebuild_graph scheduler action

P4: Incremental LoRA training (143x less computation)
  - last_enhanced_trained_at watermark in PipelineState
  - Only process memories created since last training cycle
  - force_full parameter for periodic full retrains (24h)
  - Skip entirely when no new memories (most cycles)

Combined: 5x faster search, 10-20x faster startup, 143x less training.
