Optimize decompression for offset 6 using AVX2 pshufb

This commit implements a specialized SIMD optimization for `offset == 6` in `decompress_bmi2`.
By using `_mm_shuffle_epi8` with precomputed cyclic masks (`OFFSET6_MASKS`), we can replicate the 6-byte repeating pattern into 16-byte vectors and process data in 48-byte chunks (LCM of 6 and 16).

This avoids the slow scalar fallback loop for offsets < 8.

Benchmark results (bench_decompress_offset6_micro):
- Baseline: ~2.06 GiB/s
- Optimized: ~10.75 GiB/s
- Improvement: +423%

Also added `bench_decompress_offset6_micro` to `benches/bench_main.rs` to verify and track this optimization.
