Phase 8: Hot cache + incremental delta updates

- MemCache: LRU in-memory cache for hot datasets (configurable max, default 16GB)
  Pin/evict/stats endpoints: POST /query/cache/pin, /cache/evict, GET /cache/stats
- Delta store: append-only delta Parquet files for row-level updates
  Write deltas without rewriting base files, merge at query time
- Compaction: POST /query/compact merges deltas into base Parquet
- Query engine: checks cache first, falls back to Parquet, merges deltas
- Benchmarked on 2.47M rows:
  1M row JOIN: 854ms cold → 96ms hot (8.9x speedup)
  100K filter: 62ms cold → 21ms hot (3x speedup)
  1.1M rows cached in 408MB RAM
