docs: document k-mer index architecture and refactor distance metrics

Add comprehensive documentation for the `obilayeredmap` crate, `PersistentCompactIntVec`, `PersistentBitVec`, and the hierarchical k-mer index architecture, including sidebar navigation updates across all documentation pages. Refactor the Bray-Curtis distance computation in `obicompactvec` to decouple numerator and denominator calculations, replacing direct pairwise calls with explicit loops over precomputed sums. Update tests to verify column sum accuracy and align with the simplified API.
