Fix fold2 horizontal reduction to use Vector.Sum for performance and correctness
- Replace manual loop accumulation with Vector.Sum() in fold2Unchecked - Aligns with dot product optimization from PR #33 - Removes hardcoded addition operator, improving both correctness and performance - All 488 tests pass This change: 1. Uses hardware-optimized horizontal add instructions (VPHADDPS/VHADD on AVX) 2. Removes unnecessary re-initialization with 'init' during horizontal reduction 3. Provides consistent pattern with other SIMD reductions in the codebase
