perf: replace SHA-256 with BLAKE3 + add mimalloc global allocator

- Replace SHA-256 with BLAKE3 (~5x faster) for content-addressable hashing
  in dedup_service, file_handler, file_upload_service, chunked_upload_service
- Add mimalloc as global allocator for 10-30% throughput improvement
- sha2 crate retained only for PKCE (OAuth2 standard requirement)
- BLAKE3 produces 64-char hex hashes (same format), no DB schema changes needed
