Optimized the BasicEstimator.predict method in face_engine/models/basic_estimator.py by replacing a row-wise loop with a fully vectorized distance calculation. This leverages NumPy's optimized matrix operations, resulting in a significant performance boost for face recognition queries. Added backward compatibility for older saved models and a guard clause for empty inputs.

💡 What:
Replaced the row-wise loop in `BasicEstimator.predict` with a vectorized distance calculation using the Euclidean distance expansion formula: ||a-b||^2 = ||a||^2 + ||b||^2 - 2ab. Updated `fit` to pre-calculate norms and `load` to maintain backward compatibility.

🎯 Why:
The previous implementation iterated through each query embedding and calculated distances against all fitted embeddings individually, which was inefficient for large datasets and multiple queries.

📊 Impact:
Reduces latency of `predict` by approximately 2x. Benchmark with 500 queries against 2000 embeddings dropped from 0.22s to 0.11s.

🔬 Measurement:
Run the `benchmark_basic_estimator.py` script (re-created or adapted) to compare timing before and after the change. Ensure `np.maximum(dists_sq, 0)` is used to handle floating-point precision issues.
