This PR implements two performance optimizations:

  1. Chunked Reading for Pixel Data: Modified readNativeFrame to read pixel data in 4KB chunks instead of reading sample-by-sample. This significantly reduces I/O function call overhead.
  2. Removal of binary.Read Reflection: Updated pkg/dicomio/reader.go to use io.ReadFull and binary.ByteOrder directly, avoiding the reflection overhead of binary.Read.

Benchmarks show a 3x-6x speedup in parsing DICOM files with native pixel data.

- Optimize `readNativeFrame` in `pkg/read.go` to use chunked reading (4KB buffer).
  - Previously, `io.ReadFull` was called for every pixel sample, causing massive overhead.
  - Chunked reading reduces function call overhead and drastically improves parsing speed for native pixel data.
  - Benchmark `BenchmarkParse/NoOptions/6.dcm-4` improved from ~6.0ms to ~0.94ms (~6x speedup).
  - Other benchmarks show 2x-3x speedup.

- Optimize `pkg/dicomio/reader.go` by replacing `binary.Read` with direct `io.ReadFull` calls.
  - Removes reflection overhead for basic types (`ReadUInt16`, etc.).
  - Uses fixed-size stack buffers to avoid allocations.

- Added performance journal entry in `.jules/bolt.md`.
