Rename the distance CLI subcommand to phylo across the codebase, documentation, and build configurations. Relocate source files from cmd/distance/ to a dedicated cmd/phylo/ module, update all internal routing references, and adjust benchmark scripts and Makefile targets to reflect the new command name.
Introduces scripts to compute and validate pairwise genomic distance matrices across multiple metrics. Updates the Makefile with build and comparison targets, adds .gitignore rules for generated outputs, and includes test CSV matrices and a Newick phylogenetic tree for validating the distance computation pipeline.
Introduces a Make-based orchestration for simulating, indexing, merging, filtering, and verifying k-mer counts and presence. Exposes internal builder and iterator APIs publicly, enforces mandatory leading slashes for predicate patterns, registers the `obitaxonomy` crate, and updates tooling configurations alongside documentation.
