Fc, a lossless compressor for floating-point streams

It is not trying to replace zstd or lz4. The idea is narrower: take blocks of doubles, try a set of float-specific predictors/transforms/coders, and emit whichever representation is smallest for that block.

It is aimed at time-series, scientific, simulation, and analytics data where the numbers often have structure: smooth curves, repeated values, fixed increments, periodic signals, predictable deltas, or low-entropy mantissas.

The API is intentionally small: "fc_enc", "fc_dec", a config struct, and a few counters to inspect which modes won. Decode is parallel and meant to be fast; encode spends more CPU searching for a better representation.

Current caveats: x86-64 only for now, tuned for IEEE-754 doubles, research-grade rather than production-hardened.
