refactor: Linus-style code quality improvements across Elisp and C modules

- Extract shared binary search from duplicate ekp--hyphenate-p/ekp--flagged-p
- Remove duplicate ekp-root-dir definition (shadowed ekp-utils.el version)
- Remove dead ekp-clear-caches from ekp-utils.el (cleared non-existent var)
- Replace hardcoded 'zsh' with shell-file-name for portability
- Deduplicate module reload: shared ekp--module-reload for Rust/C
- Add NULL guard for ekp_global in ekp_paragraph.c (crash prevention)
- Track actual thread count in pool to fix destroy joining wrong count
- Normalize line endings (CRLF→LF) in ekp-utils.el
