perf: Optimize PDF processing with parallel extraction and single-render highlights

Phase 1 - PDF Highlighting Optimization:
- Render each page ONCE instead of once per chunk (N chunks = 1 render, not N)
- Use PIL to draw bounding boxes on copied base images (fast) instead of
  re-rendering page via pymupdf (slow)
- Add _find_chunk_bbox() to extract bbox without modifying page

Phase 2 - Parallel Page Extraction:
- Use anyio task group with run_sync() for parallel page extraction
- Each page extracted in separate thread via anyio.to_thread.run_sync()
- Event loop stays responsive during extraction
- Remove obsolete _process_sync() method

Expected improvement: 30-50% reduction in total PDF processing time.
