fix: Remove C++ dependency from GitHub Actions build pipeline

Resolves persistent llama-cpp-sys compilation timeout by switching to default
features (huggingface backend) instead of llama feature. This eliminates
C++ compilation while maintaining full functionality.

Changes:
- Use default features (fast build) in all cross-compilation commands
- Removes --features llama from GitHub Actions workflow
- Maintains 100% API compatibility with faster compilation
