perf(index): compiled key evaluator — UDF INDEX 2.7x faster

Browse Source 
Eliminate MacroEval overhead for INDEX ON with UDF/complex expressions.

Before: gengo passed KeyExpr as a string → indexer called MacroEval()
        per record (50k × string parse + symbol lookup + function call).

After:  gengo emits a Go closure (_keyFunc) that inlines the AST of
        the key expression as direct Go code. The indexer calls the
        closure directly — zero string parsing, zero runtime symbol
        lookup for the hot loop.

Three code paths in the closure, depending on expression type:
  1. UDF call:          FindSymbol("FULLNAME") + Function(0)
                        (symbol lookup once per closure creation, not per record)
  2. Field reference:   GetValue(fieldIndex) inline
                        (no MacroEval, no FIELD-> alias resolution)
  3. UPPER/LOWER(expr): strings.ToUpper/Lower inline
                        (no RTL function call overhead)

Architecture (Go compiler design principle):
  Compile time knows the AST → emit native code.
  Don't serialize to string → re-parse at runtime 50k times.

Benchmark (50k records, 3 UDF indexes):
                  before    after     Harbour     ratio
  3 UDF INDEX    163.0ms   60.0ms    55.0ms      Five/HB = 1.09x
  SEEK 10k         7.6ms    7.6ms    14.0ms      Five 1.8x faster
  SCAN 50k         3.4ms    3.4ms     4.0ms      Five 15% faster
  TOTAL          233.0ms  130.0ms   147.0ms      Five 12% faster overall

UDF INDEX build went from 3x SLOWER than Harbour to nearly EQUAL.
SEEK/SCAN remain faster than Harbour (mmap + NTX optimizations).

Changes:
  hbrdd/driver.go     KeyFunc field in OrderCreateParams
  hbrdd/dbf/indexer.go  compiled path using KeyFunc before MacroEval fallback
  compiler/gengo/gengo.go  emitIndexKeyExpr: field-aware AST→Go emitter
                           for INDEX ON key expressions

Correctness: Harbour vs Five UDF diff = 0 (25-line output match)
