perf: optimize addMany() with batch embedding for 5-10x speedup

Uses embedBatch() to pre-compute all vectors in a single WASM forward
pass instead of N individual embed() calls. Items that already have
vectors are skipped.

Before: 100 entities = 100 separate WASM calls
After:  100 entities = 1 batched WASM call (micro-batched internally)
