Subject: [PATCH] Speed up lookup by ~13% with template callbacks and a root
 dispatch table

Two format-neutral changes to the read path (the byte code is
unchanged and stays fully compatible):

- matcher::match takes its output/prefix callbacks as template
  parameters instead of std::function, so no std::function is
  constructed per query and the calls inline. exact/common-prefix
  search on /usr/share/dict/words drop ~13%.

- Each matcher precomputes a 256-entry label->address dispatch table
  for the root state at construction time, replacing the root's jump
  table binary search (every query passes through the root) with an
  O(1) lookup. Costs 1KB of memory per matcher; the file is untouched.
