Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Find NDJSON newlines with memchr

build_doc_batch_v2_from_ndjson_body scanned the body byte by byte. memchr
finds the newlines with SIMD.

On 200 real NDJSON bodies (2,000 OTel log docs each, 2.3 MB, ~1.2 KB per
doc), same output on every body:
- byte by byte: 3.5 GB/s, 670 us per body
- memchr: 40.7 GB/s, 58 us per body (x11.6, ~0.3 us saved per doc)

At ~1.1M docs/s that is ~0.34 cores saved, and each request holds its
tokio worker ~0.06 ms instead of ~0.67 ms.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Move NDJSON splitting to quickwit-ingest for reuse

Adds quickwit_ingest::{split_ndjson_lines, doc_batch_v2_from_ndjson}:
- split_ndjson_lines: iterator over the non-blank lines of an NDJSON body,
  newlines found with memchr. Replaces quickwit-serve's lines(), so the
  ingest v1 and Elasticsearch bulk handlers get the memchr speedup too.
- doc_batch_v2_from_ndjson: the zero-copy DocBatchV2 builder from the
  ingest v2 REST handler, moved as is.

Tests moved along, plus no-trailing-newline, empty body and a check that
both helpers agree.
