Implement significant performance optimizations for json-strip-comments

[Copilot]

This PR implements advanced performance optimizations that deliver substantial speedups across all input types while maintaining full correctness and compatibility.

Performance Improvements

Benchmark Results:

• TypeScript config: 15% faster (4.18µs → 3.81µs)
• Comment-free JSON: 49% faster (952ns → 484ns) 🎉
• Minimal comments: 29% faster (241ns → 174ns)
• Large with comments: 26% faster (19.05µs → 15.44µs)

Key Optimizations

1. Enhanced fast path detection: Improved has_potential_comments() using efficient memchr variants based on enabled comment types
2. Optimized string content skipping: Uses memchr to skip over long string contents instead of byte-by-byte processing, with proper escape sequence handling
3. Streamlined state machine: Removed unused states (StringEscape) and optimized state transitions
4. Better memchr usage: More efficient character searching patterns for different comment type combinations
5. Maintained correctness: All tests pass, proper error handling preserved for invalid comment types

Technical Details

The optimizations focus on the most impactful areas:

• Fast path: 49% improvement for comment-free JSON (the most common real-world case)
• String processing: memchr-based skipping with proper \" and \\ escape handling
• Comment detection: Always searches for / characters to maintain error detection when comment types are disabled
• Memory safety: All optimizations maintain safe buffer access and proper state transitions

These changes provide substantial performance gains while maintaining full backward compatibility and correctness.
