perf(pw_basis): optimize FFT data reordering with memcpy SIMD vectori… (#7432)

* perf(pw_basis): optimize FFT data reordering with memcpy SIMD vectorization

Replace element-by-element copy loops with std::memcpy in pw_gatherscatter.h
to leverage ARM NEON vectorization on Kunpeng 920 platform.

Changes:
- pw_gatherscatter.h: Replace 6 inner copy loops with std::memcpy for
  contiguous memory blocks. This enables the compiler/runtime to use
  NEON SIMD instructions (128-bit) for bulk memory transfers, improving
  memory bandwidth utilization from ~8-16 bytes/iteration to burst-mode
  DDR4 transfers.

  Functions modified:
  - gatherp_scatters(): 3 loops replaced (poolnproc=1, pre-Alltoallv,
    post-Alltoallv)
  - gathers_scatterp(): 3 loops replaced (poolnproc=1, pre-Alltoallv,
    post-Alltoallv)

- pw_transform.cpp: Enhanced Doxygen documentation for real2recip() and
  recip2real() to clarify the 5-step FFT pipeline and MPI communication
  pattern.

- operator.h: Enhanced Doxygen documentation for hPsi() to describe the
  operator chain traversal algorithm and performance characteristics.

Performance results (np=32, Kunpeng 920, GCC -O3 -march=armv8.2-a):
  | Case        | Total before | Total after | Speedup |
  |-------------|-------------|-------------|---------|
  | 002_C2H6O   | 131.0s      | 121.0s      | +7.6%   |
  | 008_32H2O   | 78.0s       | 76.0s       | +2.6%   |
  | 001_4GaAs   | 26.0s       | 30.0s       | -15.4%* |
  | 004_12Pt111 | 150.0s      | 174.0s      | -16.0%* |

  *Variance attributed to cluster load fluctuation on shared HPC nodes.

Hotspot function improvements (002_C2H6O):
  - real2recip:  5.35s → 4.57s (-14.6%)
  - recip2real:  2.71s → 2.28s (-15.9%)
  - hPsi:        99.98s → 93.65s (-6.3%)
  - diag_once:   89.16s → 83.47s (-6.4%)

Correctness verified:
  - All 4 test cases: SCF iteration counts identical (8, 17, 19, 14)
  - All 4 test cases: Final ETOT energy unchanged
