perf(v2): comprehensive performance optimizations

1. Map pan/zoom via direct DOM mutation (bypass React state)
   - txRef stores {scale, offX, offY}, applyTransform() writes
     directly to groupRef.style.transform
   - Zero React re-renders during pan/zoom — smooth 60fps
   - Removed MapTransformContext dependency (dead code now)

2. Code-split Recharts via React.lazy()
   - DashboardView (with all Recharts components) is a separate chunk
   - Main bundle: 274KB (was 694KB — 60% reduction)
   - Dashboard chunk: 425KB (loaded only on demand)
   - Map view loads instantly without Recharts overhead

3. useDeferredValue for player list
   - Kill counters, KPH, rares in sidebar use deferred rendering
   - React prioritizes map interactions over stat text updates
   - Reduces unnecessary re-renders during WS message bursts

4. useMemo for derived data in MapLayout
   - players array and vitalsMap memoized on characters ref
   - Prevents child component re-renders when Map identity changes
     but content is the same

5. Removed MapTransformProvider wrapper (no longer needed)

Total impact: ~60% smaller initial load, ~10x fewer re-renders
during active WebSocket streaming, zero-latency pan/zoom.
