Refresh benchmark comparison against current alloy 1.6/2.0

[koko1123]

What

Re-runs the eth-zig vs alloy comparison against current alloy (primitives/sol-types/dyn-abi 1.6.0, consensus/signer/network 2.0.5) on Zig 0.16.0, and updates every public claim to the new honest numbers.

New score: 18/26 wins, 5 losses, 3 ties (was 23/26 vs March's alloy 0.8/0.6)

Alloy improved on mid-size keccak (256B/1KB now ~tied), hex/address parsing, and uniswapv4 swap. eth-zig's headline wins grew: RLP EIP-1559 encode 24.33x, ABI dynamic decode 8.41x, secp256k1 sign+recover 4.23x, sign 2.34x, u256 div 3.43x.

Changes

• bench/alloy-bench/Cargo.toml: major-version bumps (benches compiled with zero source changes)
• bench/RESULTS.md: full new 26-row table with versions, date (2026-06-10), machine; March run preserved as a dated historical note
• README hero/Why/tables, docs benchmarks/introduction/comparison/faq pages, and the SEO description in layout.tsx (still claimed 19/26) all updated — no stale ratio left outside immutable CHANGELOG history
• CHANGELOG Unreleased: Changed bullet

Verification

• compare.sh + compare_u256.sh complete runs (logs preserved); numbers copied verbatim
• zig build test (0.16.0) and pnpm -C docs build pass
