Optimize render via FastObjects

[egraich]

What's new

The rendering layer now runs on the GPU via FastObjects (#1) instead of per-cell pygame.draw.rect calls.

• The whole grid lives in a single ShapeBatch: one vectorized NumPy write + one instanced draw call per frame
• ~740 FPS uncapped in 1920x1080 fullscreen (32,400 cells) — the simulation is now the bottleneck, not rendering
• Smaller cells are finally practical: CELL_SIZE=4 means 130k+ cells without lag

Notes for running from source

• Python 3.11+ is now required (FastObjects dependency)
• pip install -r requirements.txt pulls the new fastobjects package
• PyInstaller builds need --collect-all glfw
