Title: perf(contracts): optimize contract gas usage and establish benchmarks`

[Divineifed1]

Description:
Soroban transaction fees are paid in XLM (stroops). Each contract function must be profiled for instruction count and ledger entry usage to keep user costs predictable and low.

Acceptance criteria:

• Benchmark script measures CPU and memory for each public function (cargo test --release)
• Results stored in docs/gas-benchmarks.md with target and actual values
• get_count and get_bet optimized to use temporary storage where safe
• Excessive vec! allocations identified and replaced with streamed iteration where possible
• CI fails if any function exceeds defined gas budget (configurable threshold)
