Vectorized the BasicEstimator.predict method to improve performance. The new implementation uses matrix operations instead of a Python loop for distance calculations, leveraging the squared distance expansion formula. It also pre-calculates squared norms of the fitted embeddings to avoid redundant work. Backward compatibility for serialized models is maintained by lazy-reconstructing the norms if missing.

💡 What:
Replaced the Python loop in `BasicEstimator.predict` with a vectorized Euclidean distance calculation using the expansion formula ||a-b||² = ||a||² + ||b||² - 2ab. Pre-calculated and cached squared norms of fitted embeddings to further speed up the process.

🎯 Why:
The previous implementation performed a manual loop over query embeddings and used `np.linalg.norm` for each, which is slow for larger batches of queries or high-dimensional embeddings.

📊 Impact:
Provides a ~13x speedup for the prediction step.
Benchmarked 500 queries vs 2000 embeddings (128-dim):
- Before: ~0.26s
- After: ~0.02s

🔬 Measurement:
Verified by running `PYTHONPATH=. python3 benchmark_basic_estimator.py` (script used during development) and ensuring all existing tests in `tests/test_face_engine_models.py` pass.
