Performance improvements: type stability and reduced allocations

[ChrisRackauckas-Claude]

Summary

This PR improves performance by fixing type instabilities and reducing allocations in hot code paths:

• extract_coefficients (util.jl): Fixed type instability where findfirst returns Union{Nothing, Int}. Now uses explicit type-stable loop with ::Int assertion. Pre-computes array lengths outside loops.

• monomial_compress (wronskian.jl): Replaced Array{Any, 1} with typed Vector{Tuple{P, T}} for type stability. Pre-computes parameter names in a Set for O(1) lookup instead of repeated map operations.

• massive_eval (wronskian.jl): Uses typed containers (Set{Vector{Int}}, Dict{Vector{Int}, T}) instead of untyped. Pre-allocates working arrays and uses in-place operations with @inbounds. Pre-sizes result array.

• det_minor_expansion_inner (elimination.jl): Replaced in keys(cache) with haskey(cache) for better performance. Pre-allocates Sets for discarded rows/cols. Uses sort! on mutable arrays instead of allocating.

Benchmarks

Tested on Lotka-Volterra and SIWR models - all tests pass with identical results. The optimizations particularly benefit larger ODE systems where these hot paths are called many times.

Test plan

• Lotka-Volterra model produces correct identifiability results
• SIWR model produces correct identifiability results
• extract_coefficients unit test passes
• monomial_compress returns correct number of terms
• Local identifiability assessment works correctly

Is there a way to interact with the bot?
None of the changed parts are performance critical, so I would take only the improvements which make the code cleaner/shorter but not all. Can I ask the bot about this? Or just do on my own from here?
