Reintroduce QueryPhaseListener with performance optimizations

  This commit reintroduces the QueryPhaseListener functionality that was reverted
  in opensearch-project#18913 due to performance regressions, now with optimizations that eliminate
  the overhead.

  Changes:
  - Add QueryPhaseListener interface for plugins to hook into query phase
  - Add AbstractQueryPhaseSearcher implementing template pattern for listeners
  - Modify QueryPhaseSearcher interface to support listener registration
  - Add comprehensive tests for listener functionality

  Performance optimizations:
  - Fast-path in DefaultQueryPhaseSearcher bypasses template pattern when no listeners
  - Direct hasQueryPhaseListeners() check avoids virtual method calls
  - Single listener optimization avoids iterator creation
  - Zero overhead for the common case (no listeners registered)

  The original implementation caused 10-15% regression in neural-search because it
  forced all searches through the template pattern even without listeners. This
  optimized version maintains the extension functionality while eliminating overhead
  for plugins that extend DefaultQueryPhaseSearcher without using listeners.

  Fixes opensearch-project#17593
  Resolves performance regression from opensearch-project#18913
