docs(changelog): add performance optimization entries

Documented all perf improvements in this branch:
- Database: WAL mode + optimized PRAGMAs (70k reads/sec, 3.6k writes/sec)
- Zoom: in-memory cache eliminates DB reads
- History: batched writes with background processor
- WebKit: page cache (bfcache) + smooth scrolling
- Network: DNS prefetch capability
- Shutdown: fixed GTK deadlock on Cmd+Q

77 ### Added
88 - **Color scheme config**: `appearance.color_scheme` setting to force dark/light theme (`"prefer-dark"`, `"prefer-light"`, `"default"`)
9+- **DNS prefetch**: Added capability to prefetch DNS for links to speed up future requests
10+- **Page cache (bfcache)**: Enabled WebKit back/forward cache for instant navigation
11+- **Smooth scrolling**: Enabled WebKit smooth scrolling for better UX

13+### Changed
14+- **Database performance**: Enabled WAL mode with optimized PRAGMAs (64MB cache, memory-mapped I/O, 5s busy timeout) for 70k reads/sec, 3.6k writes/sec
15+- **Zoom performance**: In-memory cache eliminates database reads during page transitions
16+- **History writes**: Batched writes with background processor (flush every 5s or 50 items) to reduce I/O overhead
917
1018 ### Fixed
19+- **Graceful shutdown deadlock**: Resolved GTK main loop deadlock on Cmd+Q by removing mutex locks and GTK calls after main loop exit
1120 - Command typos now show proper error instead of opening in browser
21+- History queue now uses buffered channel to prevent blocking on shutdown

Keyboard shortcuts

Single-key shortcuts are on. ctrl k and esc work whatever this says.

ctrl k :
go to a section, branch, tag, file or repository
?
this list
j k
move the row cursor down / up
enter
open the row under the cursor; on Files, a directory opens or closes in place
↑ ↓ ← → home end
in the file tree (focus on a row): previous / next row, close / open a directory or go to its parent / first entry, first / last row. They never open a file
l h
on Files: open a directory or a file / close a directory or go up to its parent, then to the parent page. Elsewhere: into the side panel (on a merge request, its files) / back to the content; there j k move between its controls
g g G
first / last row
/
filter the list; on Files, find a file anywhere in the repository (esc clears, enter opens the best match)
b
switch branch or tag
g s g f g c g b g m g i g r g a
tabs: summary, files, commits, branches & tags, merge requests, issues, releases, actions (when available)
g h
home
w
wide mode: use the whole width of the screen, or not (remembered)
y
copy a permalink pinned to the commit
d u x
diff: split / unified / collapse or expand all
e E
diff: the whole file in view / every file, with the lines the hunks hide
n
merge request: next note in the diff
esc
close a dialog, leave a field
