perf(resolution): defer checkpoints and double-buffer persist during resolution, byte-identical graphs (#1320)

Fresh init on a 4,402-file Java repo (dubbo): 18.2s -> 13.5s (-26%), with
the resolution phase going 12.6s -> 7.9s (-38%). Graphs verified
byte-identical on both the pool path (dubbo) and the sequential path
(excalidraw).

Two changes:

1. The fastInit+pool path restored WAL for the resolver workers but left
   wal_autocheckpoint at its default, so the persist loop inline-checkpointed
   hot pages all phase long (#1231's pathology inside resolution — measured
   at 58% of resolution wall). Checkpointing is now deferred behind the
   bounded valve and folded once at maintenance, mirroring the deferWal path.

2. The resolution loop is double-buffered: batch k+1 is prefetched (OFFSET
   past batch k's still-pending rows, under an explicit ORDER BY rowid) and
   fanned out across the pool while batch k's ref cleanup runs on the main
   thread. Batch settle-waits dropped 2572ms -> 117ms.

Correctness invariant found by the byte-identical gate and now documented in
the loop: batch k+1's resolution READS batch k's edges (resolveMethodOnType
walks supertype chains over extends/implements edges that resolution itself
inserts), so edges must persist BEFORE the next batch fans out; only the ref
cleanup overlaps.

Also extends the CODEGRAPH_SYNTH_TIMINGS instrumentation with phase labels
(grammar-init, parse-loop, fts-rebuild, resolver-reinit, resolution,
callback-synthesis) and pool timings (worker open/resolve, per-batch mode,
persist), so the next profile is one env var away.

Suite green (2444). Sync path timings unchanged. Pool floor re-validated:
forced-on at 40k refs is still net-slower, so the 150k threshold stands.

### New Features
- Reference resolution now runs in parallel on large projects. When a project has enough pending references to make it worthwhile (roughly 150k+, typical for big Java/Kotlin/Spring codebases), resolution fans out across worker threads while results are applied in the exact order the single-threaded path would have used — the graph comes out byte-for-byte identical, about twice as fast end-to-end on a 4,000-file Java project in our testing. Small projects keep the single-threaded path automatically (the fan-out costs more than it saves there). Set `CODEGRAPH_NO_PARALLEL_RESOLVE=1` to disable, or `CODEGRAPH_PARALLEL_RESOLVE_MIN=<count>` to tune when it engages.
- Indexing large projects got another sizeable speedup — about a quarter less wall-clock on the same 4,000-file Java project, with the graph still byte-for-byte identical. Two changes: the database no longer interleaves expensive checkpoint housekeeping into the middle of resolution on a fresh index (it's folded once at the end instead), and while one batch's results are being written out, the worker threads are already resolving the next batch instead of sitting idle.
- Indexing is significantly faster — a fresh `codegraph init` on a medium TypeScript project takes about a third less wall-clock time, with the same graph produced byte-for-byte. The gains come from batching database writes, storing files on a dedicated writer thread, memoizing repeated import-resolution lookups, skipping per-row search-index maintenance during the bulk build (rebuilt once at the end), and — on completely fresh databases only — deferring disk durability until the index completes, since an interrupted first index is simply re-run. Set `CODEGRAPH_NO_FAST_INIT=1` to keep full crash-durability during the initial build, or `CODEGRAPH_NO_STORE_WORKER=1` to store on the main thread.
- `codegraph install` and `codegraph upgrade` now offer CodeGraph Pro beta access after finishing — answer yes, type your email, and you join the same waitlist as the getcodegraph.com homepage form. Strictly opt-in and asked at most once per machine total: nothing is sent unless you say yes and enter an email, either answer is remembered so no later install or upgrade ever re-asks, and non-interactive runs (`--yes`, scripts, CI) never see the question.
- Every release is now cryptographically verifiable: npm packages publish with npm provenance (the "Provenance" badge on npmjs.com, proving each version was built by this repository's release workflow from a specific commit), and the GitHub Release bundles carry signed build attestations you can check with `gh attestation verify <file> -R colbymchenry/codegraph`.
