Add performance optimization: skip line breaking when remaining content fits

Implement early-exit optimization to avoid expensive width calculations when
we can determine that all remaining content will definitely fit on the current line.

- Width calculations use Core Text (relatively fast)
- No caching of calculated widths
- Greedy algorithm is O(n) where n = number of atoms
-**NEW**: Early exit optimization when remaining content fits (IMPLEMENTED!)
### Potential Optimizations
### ✅ COMPLETED: Early Exit Optimization
**Goal**: Skip expensive line breaking checks when we know all remaining content will fit.
**Implementation**: Lines 376, 549-606 in MTTypesetter.swift
- Added `remainingContentFits` flag to track when optimization applies
- In `checkAndPerformInteratomLineBreak()`:
* After confirming current atom fits, estimates remaining content width
* If current usage < 60% of maxWidth with 5 atoms remaining: sets flag (conservative)
* If current usage < 75%: estimates remaining width via `estimateRemainingAtomsWidth()`
* Sets flag if projected total width maxWidth
- Once flag is set, all subsequent breaking checks return immediately (fast path)
- Flag is reset when line break actually occurs
- `estimateRemainingAtomsWidth()` uses character count × average char width heuristic with 1.5× safety margin
**Impact**: ⭐⭐⭐ GOOD performance improvement for short expressions! Avoids width calculations for atoms that definitely fit.
**Benefit**: Most mathematical expressions fit on one line - this optimization makes them render faster by skipping unnecessary width checks after determining the line has plenty of space.
**Progress**: COMPLETED and tested!
### Remaining Potential Optimizations
1. **Width caching**: Cache calculated atom widths
2. **Batch processing**: Calculate multiple atom widths together
3. **Early exit**: Stop processing if remaining content definitely fits
