Part 24 of 25 in the stacked PR series adding vortex-row.

This PR contains exactly one commit; review just that diff in isolation.

What this commit does

Adds a row-encode kernel for BitPacked arrays. The kernel walks the packed storage in 1024-element fastlanes chunks via BitUnpackedChunks::full_chunks, unpacks each chunk into a stack-local buffer, and writes the row-encoded bytes for that chunk in one pass.

Patches (when present) are applied per-chunk to the stack buffer so a patched cell encodes its corrected value rather than the bit-packed placeholder.

The shared row_encode_common module factors out the per-chunk encode primitive (encode_primitive_chunk) and a small PrimRowEncode trait — the same shape FoR and Delta will use in the next commit so those kernels can share the chunk-walk machinery.

Kernel is registered via the inventory-based registry, since vortex-fastlanes depends on vortex-array. Includes a bitpacked_i32_* bench triplet.

Combined context

For the full design + rationale, see PR #7985 (top of stack).

Add a row-encode kernel for BitPacked arrays. The kernel walks the
packed storage in 1024-element fastlanes chunks via
`BitUnpackedChunks::full_chunks`, unpacks each chunk into a stack-local
buffer, and writes the row-encoded bytes for that chunk in one pass.

Patches (when present) are applied per-chunk to the stack buffer so a
patched cell encodes its corrected value rather than the bit-packed
placeholder.

The shared `row_encode_common` module factors out the per-chunk encode
primitive (`encode_primitive_chunk`) and a small `PrimRowEncode`
trait — the same shape FoR and Delta will use in the next commit so
those kernels can share the chunk-walk machinery.

Kernel is registered via the `inventory`-based registry, since
`vortex-fastlanes` depends on `vortex-array`.

Includes a `bitpacked_i32_*` bench triplet (arrow-row baseline, vortex
with kernel, vortex through canonicalization).
