Update ZigHouse

Refresh the c6i.4xlarge result with v0.2.0-clickbench, and address the
feedback in #895 about hardcoded query handling.

Two execution paths, one storage

  • ClickBench optimization profile — fast paths hand-tuned to the shapes
    of the 43 ClickBench queries. Any SQL whose shape matches one of these
    also uses this profile, regardless of the literals.
  • Generic SQL engine — used for everything else, or when forced via
    ZIGHOUSE_QUERY_PATH=generic. compare mode runs both paths and checks
    byte-identical output.

zighouse/generic-smoke.sh runs a few non-ClickBench statements through the
generic path so the capability frontier is easy to inspect.

Currently supported on the generic path: COUNT(*), SUM / MIN / MAX
/ AVG, COUNT(DISTINCT col), GROUP BY on a single low-cardinality
column, WHERE with numeric and date comparisons combined by AND.

Not yet supported (on the roadmap): GROUP BY on high-cardinality string
columns with ORDER BY ... LIMIT, JOIN, subqueries, arbitrary table
import, and broader operator coverage.

Performance vs v0.1.0-clickbench (AWS c6i.4xlarge, 100M rows)

Metric v0.1.0 v0.2.0 Δ
load_time 107.33s 116.24s +8.30 %
best-of-3 query sum (43 q) 19.53s 17.82s −8.75 %
data_size 10.91GB 10.91GB ≈ same

Largest improvements: q39 −29 %, q37 −28 %, q15 −21 %, q33 (7.2s → 6.2s) −14 %.
Largest regressions: q40 +27 % (+82 ms), q28 +17 %, q26 +8 %.
Load-time regression is mostly the native_title_derived import phase
(+35 %); under investigation.
