⚡ Bolt: Optimized SVG path number parsing

💡 What:
Modified PathScanner in SVGPathParser.swift to store the original input string.
Updated scanNumber() to slice the original string using the scanned indices (string[startIndex..<index]) instead of creating a new String from the UTF8View slice (String(slice)).

🎯 Why:
The previous implementation allocated a new String for every single number parsed in an SVG path. For complex icons or vectors with thousands of coordinates, this resulted in significant memory churn and allocation overhead.
The Double initializer accepts Substring (which conforms to StringProtocol), so we can parse directly from a view of the original string without allocation.

📊 Impact:
Significantly reduces memory allocations during SVG path parsing.
Expected to improve parsing speed for large vector assets.

🔬 Measurement:
A benchmark (failed to run due to env crash) would show reduced execution time and memory usage.
The optimization leverages Swift's Substring capabilities for zero-copy parsing.

- Replaces `String(slice)` allocation with zero-allocation `Substring` in `scanNumber`.
- Updates `PathScanner` to retain original string reference.
- Avoids creating new String objects for every coordinate in SVG path data.
