Add SpatialHash class for efficient spatial queries on entities:
- New SpatialHash.h/cpp with bucket-based spatial hashing
- Grid.entities_in_radius(x, y, radius) method for O(k) queries
- Automatic spatial hash updates on entity add/remove/move
Benchmark results at 2,000 entities:
- Single query: 16.2× faster (0.044ms → 0.003ms)
- N×N visibility: 104.8× faster (74ms → 1ms)
This enables efficient range queries for AI, visibility, and
collision detection without scanning all entities.

Benchmark suite measuring entity performance at scale:
- B1: Entity creation (measures allocation overhead)
- B2: Full iteration (measures cache locality)
- B3: Single range query (measures O(n) scan cost)
- B4: N×N visibility (the "what can everyone see" problem)
- B5: Movement churn (baseline for spatial index overhead)
Key findings at 2,000 entities on 100×100 grid:
- Creation: 75k entities/sec
- Range query: 0.05ms (O(n) - checks all entities)
- N×N visibility: 128ms total (O(n²))
- EntityCollection iteration 60× slower than direct iteration

Adds a sub-grid system where grids larger than 64x64 cells are automatically
divided into 64x64 chunks, each with its own RenderTexture for incremental
rendering. This significantly improves performance for large grids by:
- Only re-rendering dirty chunks when cells are modified
- Caching rendered chunk textures between frames
- Viewport culling at the chunk level (skip invisible chunks entirely)
Implementation details:
- GridChunk class manages individual 64x64 cell regions with dirty tracking
- ChunkManager organizes chunks and routes cell access appropriately
- UIGrid::at() method transparently routes through chunks for large grids
- UIGrid::render() uses chunk-based blitting for large grids
- Compile-time CHUNK_SIZE (64) and CHUNK_THRESHOLD (64) constants
- Small grids (<= 64x64) continue to use flat storage (no regression)
Benchmark results show ~2x improvement in base layer render time for 100x100
grids (0.45ms -> 0.22ms) due to chunk caching.
Note: Dynamic layers (#147) still use full-grid textures; extending chunk
system to layers is tracked separately as #150.

compute_fov() was iterating through the entire grid to build a Python
list of visible cells, causing O(grid_size) performance instead of
O(radius²). On a 1000×1000 grid this was 15.76ms vs 0.48ms.
The fix returns None instead - users should use is_in_fov() to query
visibility, which is the pattern already used by existing code.
Performance: 33x speedup (15.76ms → 0.48ms on 1M cell grid)
