perf: const-generic bit unpacking with wide u64 reads

Specialize extract_bits_msb and unpack_bits via const generics so the
compiler knows BPS at compile time. Replace the byte-by-byte accumulation
loop with a single u64::from_be_bytes read + shift + mask.

Benchmarks (1024x1024 gray, uncompressed):
  10-bit: 1.32ms → 886µs  (1.49x faster)
  12-bit: 1.34ms → 871µs  (1.54x faster)
  14-bit: 1.49ms → 963µs  (1.55x faster)
  24-bit: 1.84ms → 776µs  (2.37x faster)
