⚡ Bolt: vectorize BasicEstimator.predict

💡 What: Optimized the predict method of BasicEstimator in face_engine/models/basic_estimator.py.
🎯 Why: The previous implementation used a Python loop over input embeddings, calculating distances one by one, which was inefficient for batch predictions.
📊 Impact: Reduces batch prediction time by ~85% (from ~0.26s to ~0.035s for 500x2000 comparison, a ~7.5x speedup).
🔬 Measurement: Verified with a custom benchmark script (now removed) comparing old loop-based logic against the new vectorized matrix operation, and confirmed numerical equivalence within rtol=1e-4.

Optimized the `predict` method of `BasicEstimator` by vectorizing the distance
calculation using the squared distance expansion formula.

- Replaced the Python loop over input embeddings with a vectorized matrix
  operation using `np.dot` and broadcasting.
- Pre-calculated squared norms of fitted embeddings in `fit` to further
  speed up predictions.
- Maintained backward compatibility for older saved models without pre-calculated
  norms using `getattr` fallback.
- Guarded against floating-point precision errors using `np.maximum(..., 0)`.
- Achieved a ~7.5x speedup for batches of 500 queries against 2000 fitted
  embeddings.
