docs(ruvllm): add TurboQuant KV-cache compression to crate README

- Add TurboQuant to key features table (6-8x memory reduction)
- Add v2.5 section with TurboQuant, embedding store, H2O/PyramidKV eviction
- Add full TurboQuant usage section with code examples and compression table
- Update version references from 2.0/2.3 to 2.1

| **SONA three-tier learning** | Adapts to your queries at three speeds: instant (<1 ms), background (~100 ms), deep (minutes) | Responses improve automatically without manual retraining |
| **Metal + CUDA + ANE** | Hardware-accelerated inference across Apple Silicon, NVIDIA GPUs, and Apple Neural Engine | Get the most out of whatever hardware you have |
| **TurboQuant KV-Cache** | 2-4 bit asymmetric per-channel quantization with H2O/PyramidKV eviction | 6-8x memory reduction, <0.5% quality loss |
| **Flash Attention 2** | Memory-efficient attention with O(N) complexity and online softmax | Longer contexts with less memory |
| **GGUF memory mapping** | Memory-mapped model loading with quantization (Q4K, Q8, FP16) | Load large models fast, use 4-8x less RAM |
| **Speculative decoding** | Draft model generates candidates, target model verifies in parallel | 2-3x faster text generation |

## TurboQuant KV-Cache Compression
Aggressive quantization for long-context inference:
```rust
use ruvllm::quantize::turbo_quant::{
TurboQuantCompressor, TurboQuantConfig, TurboQuantBits,
TurboQuantCacheTier, TurboQuantEmbeddingStore,
};
// Compress KV-cache entries at 3-bit (10.7x compression)
let config = TurboQuantConfig {
bits: TurboQuantBits::Bit3_5,
use_qjl: true, // Random projection for better quality
..Default::default()
};
let compressor = TurboQuantCompressor::new(config)?;
// Compress a batch of KV vectors
let keys: Vec<&[f32]> = kv_pairs.iter().map(|p| p.key.as_slice()).collect();
let compressed = compressor.compress_batch(&keys)?;
println!("Compression: {:.1}x", compressed.compression_ratio());
// Asymmetric inner product — no decompression needed
let scores = compressor.inner_product_batch_optimized(
&query_vector, &compressed
)?;
// TurboQuant KV-Cache Tier with eviction
let mut cache = TurboQuantCacheTier::new(config)?;
cache.push(&keys_f32, &values_f32, position)?;
let stats = cache.stats();
println!("Memory: {} bytes, Entries: {}", stats.memory_bytes, stats.num_entries);
// Quantized embedding store with search
let mut store = TurboQuantEmbeddingStore::new(dim, config)?;
store.build_from_batch(&embeddings, &ids)?;
let results = store.search(&query, top_k)?; // Returns (id, score) pairs
```
