PERF: optimize _libs.algos for SIMD auto-vectorization and GIL release
- diff_2d: use raw C pointers for inner loops so the C compiler can auto-vectorize the subtraction (~20-25% faster for DataFrame.diff) - take_2d_axis0/axis1: use raw C pointers for inner row copy/conversion loops enabling auto-vectorization (~10% faster for cross-type reindex) - nancorr: add no_nans fast path skipping per-element mask checks - nancorr_spearman: add @cython.cdivision(True) - rank_sorted_1d: add @cython.cdivision(True) to remove zero-division checks from the hot ranking loop - rank_1d: skip unnecessary putmask when check_mask is False - pad/backfill/pad_inplace/pad_2d_inplace: release GIL for numeric types - get_fill_indexer: release GIL - unique_deltas: use C array instead of Python list to avoid GIL interaction per unique delta - is_monotonic: remove redundant assignments before break Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
