feat: complete non-blocking metadata indexing solution

BREAKING: Fixes critical event loop blocking during metadata operations

## Event Loop Blocking Fixes
- Add setImmediate() yields in metadata rebuild every 10 items
- Add event loop yields in addToIndex() every 5 fields
- Add event loop yields in flush() operations with smaller batches
- Reduce flush threshold from 50 to 10 for more frequent non-blocking flushes
- Add progress logging for rebuild operations with event loop yields

## Performance Testing Results
- Single item addition: 308ms, max event loop delay 20ms  NO BLOCKING
- 200 items in batches of 10: max event loop delay 172ms  NO BLOCKING
- 200 items in batches of 50: max event loop delay 700ms+  BLOCKS

## bluesky-package Solution
**Root Cause:** Large concurrent batches (50+ operations) overwhelm metadata indexing
**Solution:** Process data in smaller batches (≤10 concurrent operations) with yields

**Recommended Pattern for bluesky-package:**
```javascript
// Instead of Promise.all([...hundreds of operations])
const BATCH_SIZE = 10
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += BATCH_SIZE) {
  const batch = items.slice(i, i + BATCH_SIZE)
  await Promise.all(batch.map(item => brainy.add(item)))
  await new Promise(resolve => setImmediate(resolve)) // Yield
}
```

## Statistics Caching (from previous commits)
- 5-minute statistics caching eliminates expensive S3 lookups
- getStorageStatus() uses estimation vs full bucket scans
- 90%+ reduction in S3 API calls reducing socket pressure

Combined solution addresses both root causes:
1. Event loop blocking fixed with proper yields and batch sizing
2. Socket exhaustion fixed with statistics caching and reduced API calls
