Add a new 'dist' Cargo profile optimized for distribution: - Fat LTO and codegen-units=1 for better optimization - Strip symbols for smaller binaries - opt-level="s" overrides for non-perf-critical dependencies Benchmarks on Solady test suite show dist is 8% faster than release while being 45% smaller (43MB vs 78MB). Update release workflows to use the dist profile instead of maxperf.
