Introduces `PersistentBitMatrix` and `PersistentCompactIntMatrix` to replace single-file vector storage with a column-major, directory-based layout. Each column is persisted as an individual file alongside a lightweight `meta.json` for dimension tracking. Migrates `obilayeredmap` to use these multi-column structures, updating Rust APIs, query return types, and build signatures. Includes comprehensive documentation, unit and integration tests for persistence and accessors, and refactors distance calculation helpers.
