perf: scan note content by literal instead of driving the regex engine

The NIP-19, hashtag and legacy-#[n] scans all ran `Regex.findAll` over the whole
of a note's content. `findAll` restarts the regex engine at every position in the
string, so cost scaled with content length regardless of whether the content had
anything to find — and most notes have nothing to find.

Each of these patterns has a literal that must be present for any match:

- `nip19regex` can only match at one of eight entity prefixes, all starting `n`
- `hashtagSearch` requires `(?:\s|\A)` immediately before a `#`
- `tagSearch` requires the same before `#[`
- `RichTextParser.tagIndex` requires the literal `#[`

So the scans now jump between candidate positions with `indexOf`/char compares and
apply the regex ANCHORED there via `matchAt`. For the NIP-19 scan, `(nostr:)?@?`
are optional, so anchoring at the entity's own `n` matches the same entities and
captures the same groups the callers read.

Measured on the production content distribution — median 529 B with a tail to
767 KB, taken from an on-device heap dump where 2,541 of 4,573 live Matchers were
running the NIP-19 regex:

                         before          after (no match / with matches)
  Nip19Parser.parseAll   19 MB/s         922 / 61-654 MB/s
  findHashtags           68 MB/s      ~19,000 / ~1,240 MB/s
  IndexedTags            63 MB/s      ~19,900 / ~12,100 MB/s
  RichTextParser '#['    -            4.93x on the #[n] step

Worst case improves most: a 767 KB long-form note went from 40.6 ms to 0.83 ms
per NIP-19 scan.

Two further notes on the NIP-19 scan. Every prefix starts with `n` and English
prose is ~7% `n`, so testing all eight prefixes at each `n` dominated the scan;
dispatching on the second character first cuts that to at most two and is worth
2.1x on its own. And `RichTextParser` gates on `contains("#[")`, not
`startsWith`, because `find()` also matches `#[n]` mid-word.

Behaviour is unchanged. `RegexContentBenchmark` (new, in commons) pins each
rewritten scan against a verbatim copy of the implementation it replaces, plus
~6,000 fuzz cases, the boundary cases where `n`/`#` is the last character, and
hardcoded segment expectations for the RichTextParser '#' path.

/**
* Measures the regex scans Amethyst runs over note **content**.
*
* Why: an on-device heap dump (SM-T220, Dr. Edo's account) found 2,541 of 4,573
* live `java.util.regex.Matcher` instances running [Nip19Parser.nip19regex],
* reached from `BaseNoteEvent.citedNIP19()` during ingest. Kotlin's `findAll`
* allocates a **new Matcher per match**, each retaining the whole input
* (`jvmMain/kotlin/text/regex/Regex.kt`: `matcher.pattern().matcher(input)`),
* so a long article with N mentions builds N matchers over the full text.
*
* Corpus sizes come from that same dump's measured distribution of the strings
* these matchers held: median 529 B, p90/max 767 KB (long-form articles — the
* v1.13.0 release notes at 68 KB, an essay at 50 KB).
*
* Deterministic and offline. Prints ns/op and MB/s; no assertions on wall time
* (CI machines vary) beyond a sanity check that the scans return results.
