💡 What: Optimized hot spatial search loops in auto_k_selection and DBSCAN::region_query by calculating the squared distance instead of calling libm::sqrt.

🎯 Why: Calculating distances over loops with libm::sqrt creates significant mathematical overhead, which is a known performance bottleneck. Applying squared thresholds drastically reduces this.

📊 Impact: Reduces computational overhead in spatial neighbor checks for clustering, potentially providing measurable reductions in processing time, specifically removing O(n^2) instances of sqrt.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by running the clustering test suite (cargo test -p aether-core --offline --lib ml::clustering) and profiling the auto_k_selection and DBSCAN::fit routines with large point counts.

Replaced `libm::sqrt` with squared distance checks inside hot loops of `auto_k_selection` and `DBSCAN::region_query` in `crates/aether-core/src/ml/clustering.rs`. Also properly rejected negative/NaN thresholds and implemented an early loop break if `sum >= eps_sq`, keeping robust NaN handling. This significantly speeds up clustering algorithms by removing `sqrt` overhead.
