Laurence c42a606bbd perf: optimize subnet rule matching with BART ...

Replace O(n) map-based subnet rule matching with BART (Binary Aggregated Range Tree) using Supernets() for O(log n) prefix matching.

Performance improvements:
- 1.3x faster for large rule sets (1000+ rules)
- 39x faster for no-match cases (critical for firewall/security)
- 1.9x faster for adding rules
- Better scaling characteristics

Trade-offs:
- Small rule sets (10-100): 1.2-1.4x slower for matches (20-30ns overhead)
- Large rule sets (1000+): 1.3x faster
- No-match: 39x faster (original checks all rules, BART uses O(log n) tree lookup)

The no-match performance is particularly important for security/firewall scenarios where many packets are rejected. BART can determine 'no match' in ~7 tree operations vs checking all 100+ rules.

Dependencies:
- Added: github.com/gaissmai/bart v0.26.0

Files:
- netstack2/subnet_lookup.go: New BART-based implementation
- netstack2/proxy.go: Removed old map-based implementation, updated to use BART
