Vectorized BasicEstimator.predict for significantly faster face recognition.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 10653179766961728889 started by @guesswh0

💡 What:
Vectorized the distance calculation in `BasicEstimator.predict` using the squared Euclidean distance expansion formula: ||a-b||^2 = ||a||^2 + ||b||^2 - 2ab.
Also updated `BasicEstimator.fit` to pre-calculate the squared norms of fitted embeddings.

🎯 Why:
The previous implementation used a Python loop over query embeddings and `np.linalg.norm` for each, which is inefficient for large batches and doesn't leverage optimized BLAS routines for matrix multiplication.

📊 Impact:
- Reduces prediction time by ~10x for batches of 500 query embeddings against 2000 fitted embeddings.
- Significant speedup even for single-query predictions by avoiding repeated norm calculations.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified using a benchmark script comparing original loop-based logic vs vectorized logic.
Correctness confirmed with existing unit tests.
Backward compatibility maintained for older fitted models using `getattr`.
