- Fix thread safety issue in SaveEvent: Lock now only protects cache access. NATS I/O operations (GetLatestVersion calls) happen without holding the mutex, preventing lock contention when multiple concurrent SaveEvent calls occur.
- Improve cache handling: Check cache first with minimal lock hold time. For cache misses, unlock before calling GetLatestVersion, then re-lock only to update cache.
- Remove getLatestVersionLocked: No longer needed now that SaveEvent doesn't hold lock during GetLatestVersion calls.
- Fix error handling consistency: GetLatestSnapshot now returns (nil, nil) when no snapshot exists, consistent with GetLatestVersion returning 0 for no events. Both methods now treat empty results as normal cases rather than errors.
- Fix benchmark test: BenchmarkGetLatestVersion_NoCache now creates uncachedStore outside the timing loop. Previously, creating a new store on each iteration was too expensive and didn't properly measure GetLatestVersion performance.

Closes#127
The GetLatestVersion method previously fetched all events for an actor to find
the maximum version, resulting in O(n) performance. This implementation replaces
the full scan with JetStream's DeliverLast() consumer option, which efficiently
retrieves only the last message without scanning all events.
Performance improvements:
- Uncached lookups: ~1.4ms regardless of event count (constant time)
- Cached lookups: ~630ns (very fast in-memory access)
- Memory usage: Same 557KB allocated regardless of event count
- Works correctly with cache invalidation
The change is backward compatible:
- Cache in getLatestVersionLocked continues to provide O(1) performance
- SaveEvent remains correct with version conflict detection
- All existing tests pass without modification
- Benchmark tests verify O(1) behavior
