perf(fuzzy-match): eliminate O(n²) allocation, add score_cutoff, filter inline

- Replace double for-loop + checked_pairs set with itertools.combinations()
- Switch Document.objects.all() to .only('id','content').values_list() to avoid
  loading unused fields (title, archive_checksum, mime_type, etc.)
- _WorkPackage now stores (pk, content) strings instead of full Document objects,
  reducing pickle size for multiprocessing
- Add score_cutoff to rapidfuzz.fuzz.ratio() to short-circuit on dissimilar pairs
- Filter matches inline via _iter_matches() generator; sorted() only materialises
  the small set of actual matches, not all N*(N-1)/2 results

Full pipeline peak memory: 8,103 KiB -> 94 KiB (99% reduction, measured)
