perf(extractor): Cache font encodings to avoid re-parsing CMap per text op

lopdf's get_font_encoding() re-parses ToUnicode CMap streams via nom for
every Tj/TJ operator. Cache the encoding once per font during page setup.
Also add binary search for CMap range lookup and de-dup CMap extraction.

Reduces Arabic PDF processing from 45s to <1s (53x speedup).
