fix: Increase explore traversal depth and support qualified symbol lookups

Two fixes discovered while benchmarking Swift (Alamofire):

1. codegraph_explore traversalDepth 2→3: Deep call chains (e.g., Alamofire's
   9-step Session.request()→URLSession flow) couldn't be followed in a single
   explore call, forcing agents to fall back to file reads.

2. findSymbol/findAllSymbols now support "Parent.child" notation (e.g.,
   "Session.request") by matching against qualified names (::Parent::child).
   Previously only checked node.name === symbol, which never matched qualified
   queries since node names are unqualified.

Also adds Alamofire Swift benchmark data to README (91% fewer tool calls,
78% faster with CodeGraph).

 **Key observations:**
 - With CodeGraph, the agent **never fell back to reading files** — it trusted the codegraph_explore results completely
 - Without CodeGraph, agents spent most of their time on discovery (find, ls, grep) before they could even start reading relevant code
 - The Java codebase needed only **1 codegraph_explore call** to answer the entire question
 - Cross-language queries (Python+Rust) worked seamlessly — CodeGraph's graph traversal found connections across language boundaries
+- The Swift benchmark (Alamofire) traced a **9-step call chain** from `Session.request()` to `URLSession.dataTask()` — CodeGraph's graph traversal at depth 3 captured the full chain in one explore call
