feat: add superkmer CLI setup and partition bit handling

This commit introduces CLI argument parsing for the `superkmer` command via a new `SuperkmerArgs` struct. It also adds a `partitions_to_bits` utility to compute the minimum bit width for partition encoding, enforcing a 1-bit floor. Finally, the index configuration automatically rounds the partition count up to the nearest power of two to ensure compatibility with bitmask-based indexing operations.
