⚡ Bolt: Optimize decompression for offset 5 using AVX2

💡 What: Implemented a specialized AVX2 SIMD path for match offset 5.
🎯 Why: Standard decompression falls back to byte-by-byte copy for small non-power-of-2 offsets, which is inefficient. AVX2 allows processing 160 bytes per loop iteration.
📊 Impact: Expected significant throughput improvement for data with frequent 5-byte repeating patterns (common in certain binary formats or text). Baseline benchmarks showed ~10.3 GiB/s, optimization should exceed this.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with cargo test --lib and cargo bench --bench bench_main bench_decompress_offset5.

Implemented a specialized AVX2 SIMD path for match offset 5 in `decompress_bmi2`.
This optimization uses `_mm256_shuffle_epi8` with precomputed masks to replicate the 5-byte pattern across 32-byte vectors, processing 160 bytes per iteration.

Key changes:
- Added `copy_match_offset5_avx2` helper function.
- Added `OFFSET5_MASKS` table.
- Integrated the optimized path into the main decompression loop.
- Fixed `OFFSET15_MASKS` definition (length mismatch) found during development.
- Restored accidentally removed handlers for offsets 10, 12, 14.

This follows the existing pattern for small offsets (e.g., offset 3) to improve throughput by reducing loop overhead and utilizing vector stores.
