test: update test infrastructure and documentation

Update tests and documentation:
- native/README.md: document C++ native library plans
- restart_recovery_test.go: scheduler restart/recovery tests
- scheduler_fixture.go: test fixtures for scheduler
- hash_test.zig: SHA-NI hash tests (WIP)

Improves test coverage and documentation.

+### Cancelled / Not Implemented

+| Library | Planned | Status | Reason |
+|---------|---------|--------|--------|
+| **artifact_scanner** | Phase 3 | ❌ Cancelled | Go implementation faster in benchmarks (small & large workloads) |
+| **streaming_io** | Phase 4 | ❌ Cancelled | Go implementation faster in benchmarks; CGo overhead exceeds benefits |

+**Benchmark Findings:**
+- artifact_scanner: 87% syscall win theoretical, but CGo overhead negates gains
+- streaming_io: 95% syscall win theoretical, but Go stdlib already optimized for streaming
+- Both show Go stdlib outperforming C++ via CGo in small and large workload tests
