perf: eliminate unnecessary clones and pre-allocate collections

Three micro-optimizations with zero behavioral change:

1. timeline_collect.rs: Reorder format!() before enum construction so
   the owned String moves into the variant directly, eliminating
   .clone() on state, label, and milestone strings in StateChanged,
   LabelAdded/Removed, and MilestoneSet/Removed event paths.

2. pipeline.rs: Use Arc<str> for doc_hash shared across a document's
   chunks instead of cloning the full String per chunk. Also remove
   redundant embed_buf.reserve() since extend_from_slice already
   handles growth and the buffer is reused across iterations.

3. rrf.rs: Pre-allocate HashMap with combined vector+fts result count
   via with_capacity() to avoid rehashing during RRF score accumulation.
