💡 What: Replaced exact Euclidean distance calculations (libm::sqrt) in auto_k_selection and DBSCAN::region_query with inline squared distance comparisons. The optimization uses an inner loop early exit (!(sum < eps_sq)). Also fixed a misinitialized component counting variable in auto_k_selection.
🎯 Why: Exact distance calculations using libm::sqrt are a significant bottleneck in spatial scan algorithms (like DBSCAN) that compare distances against a constant threshold (epsilon). Calculating exact Euclidean distance does unnecessary work when the threshold constraint has already been violated by partial sums.
📊 Impact: Expected to significantly reduce CPU cycles in hot loops for threshold-based neighborhood queries by avoiding libm overhead and exiting early on large distance differentials.
🔬 Measurement: Verify using cargo test -p aether-core to ensure topological component counting and clustering still yield exactly identical labels and counts. Run performance benchmarks focusing on large K-selection grids.

Replaced exact Euclidean distance calculations (`libm::sqrt`) in `auto_k_selection`
and `DBSCAN::region_query` with inline squared distance comparisons and inner
loop early exits. Also fixed a component counting logic bug in `auto_k_selection`.
