perf: optimize character counting with single-pass algorithm and direct Unicode checks

- Replace unicode.In() with direct Unicode range checks for better performance
- Implement single-pass processing to count lines and characters simultaneously
- Use local variables to reduce struct field access overhead
- Add comprehensive isChinese() function covering all CJK Unicode blocks
- Improve line counting logic accuracy
- Rename TextCounter to Counter for better naming consistency
- Achieve zero memory allocation in CountBytes method
- Add extensive benchmark tests showing significant performance improvements

Performance improvements:
- Zero memory allocations (0 B/op, 0 allocs/op)
- Faster character classification with direct range checks
- Reduced time complexity with single-pass algorithm
- Better cache locality with local variables

Also update .gitignore to exclude coverage files from repository.
