Subject: [PATCH] Optimize _get_optimal_value_for_bbox

The optimized code achieves a **2882% speedup** by applying two key optimizations:

**1. Numba JIT Compilation:**
Added `@njit(cache=True, fastmath=True)` decorators to `_get_bbox_to_page_ratio` and the new `_linear_polyfit_2point` functions. Numba compiles these Python functions to machine code, eliminating interpreter overhead and providing near-C performance for numerical computations.

**2. Replaced NumPy's General-Purpose Linear Regression:**
The original code used `np.polyfit()` for simple 2-point linear interpolation, which is overkill and involves significant overhead. The optimization replaces this with a custom `_linear_polyfit_2point` function that directly computes slope and intercept using basic arithmetic: `slope = (y1-y0)/(x1-x0)` and `intercept = y0 - slope*x0`. This eliminates the overhead of NumPy's general polynomial fitting algorithm.

**Performance Impact:**
From the line profiler results, the original `np.polyfit` call consumed 86.5% of execution time (24.7ms out of 28.6ms total). The optimized version reduces this to just 15.2% of a much smaller total runtime. The first call to each JIT-compiled function includes compilation overhead, but subsequent calls benefit from cached machine code.

**Real-World Benefits:**
Based on function references, `_get_optimal_value_for_bbox` is called by `get_bbox_text_size` and `get_bbox_thickness` for PDF visualization. These functions likely process many bounding boxes during document analysis, making the 20x+ speedup significant for document processing pipelines.

**Test Case Performance:**
The optimizations excel across all test scenarios, showing 15-30x speedups for individual calls and even higher gains (30x) for bulk processing tests with many bounding boxes, demonstrating the value of JIT compilation for repeated computational workloads.
