Summary: Add `decodeSingleByteRun` fast path to `bulkVarintDecode32` and `bulkVarintDecode64` that processes leading runs of single-byte varints (values 0-127) using 8-byte word reads before falling through to the BMI2 switch-based decoder. For each 8-byte word where no continuation bits are set (`word & 0x8080808080808080 == 0`), all 8 varints are decoded with simple shifts, avoiding the `_pext_u64` and 64-case switch overhead. This is placed in the caller functions rather than inside `bulkVarintDecodeBmi2` to preserve the BMI2 function's code layout and icache behavior for mixed-width data. Benchmark results (1M elements, mode/opt): | Scenario | Before | After | Speedup | |-----------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | 1-byte (32-bit) | 465us | 260us | 1.79x | | 5-byte (32-bit) | slower | 1.22ms | fixed | | 3-byte (32-bit) | 1.04ms | 864us | 1.20x | | 4-byte (32-bit) | 1.50ms | 1.04ms | 1.44x | | 64-bit 1-byte | 294us | 232us | 1.27x | | batch1024 | 1.96us | 1.20us | 1.63x | | Uniform/2-byte/8-byte | unchanged | unchanged | no regress| Also enhances the varint benchmark with fixed byte-width benchmarks (1-5 byte for 32-bit, 1/4/8 byte for 64-bit), skip benchmarks, and batch size benchmarks.

… single-byte varints Summary: Manually loop-unroll `decodeSingleByteRun` with a 3-tier approach: 1. 32-element (4-word) unrolled loop with combined high-bit check `(w0 | w1 | w2 | w3) & kHighBits` to minimize branch overhead 2. 8-element (1-word) loop for smaller runs 3. Single-element trailing loop to pick up individual single-byte varints before multi-byte values Also extracts the byte-expansion logic into a reusable `expandWord()` helper for clarity.

…gleByteRun Summary: Replace scalar byte expansion and reinterpret_cast-based uint64_t loads in decodeSingleByteRun with xsimd-based SIMD operations: - Use xsimd::batch<uint8_t>::load_unaligned for a single wide load (32 bytes on AVX2) + vptest to check all high bits at once, replacing 4 separate uint64_t loads + OR chain. - Use xsimd::batch<T> construction and store_unaligned for byte-to-element widening (compiles to vpmovzxbd on AVX2, vmovl on NEON). - Replace reinterpret_cast<const uint64_t*> with std::memcpy in the 8-byte loop to avoid strict-aliasing/alignment issues.

Summary: Add encoding fuzzer testing for varint encoding with randomized encode-decode-verify cycles across diverse data patterns and access patterns. Differential Revision: D97054913
Summary: Add bulkDecodeTwoByteRun() that detects runs of 2-byte varints by checking for the alternating high-bit pattern (0x0080008000800080) in 8-byte words, decoding 4 varints per word with simple scalar ops. This fixes the 2-byte regression introduced by the table-driven BMI2 decode (D96756546). The old switch perfectly predicted uniform 2-byte data, while the table-driven approach paid lookup overhead without benefiting from misprediction elimination. Benchmark results (varint_benchmark, mode/opt): - BulkDecode_2byte: 1.12ms → 506µs (2.2x faster, 11% faster than baseline) - NimbleBulkDecodeUniform: 1.49ms (preserved, 69% faster than baseline) - All other benchmarks: unchanged Differential Revision: D97189009

Summary:
Dispatch loop for varint bulk decode to handle sporadic large heads, i.e in a large sequence of 1-byte/2-byte values we see sporadically placed large values.
