tiennm99 dbc23c25c5 feat: read the databases over HTTP range requests
The browser downloaded 45 MB of gzipped SQLite before it could answer
anything. Now sql.js-httpvfs asks for the pages a query touches and the
databases ship uncompressed as <id>.sqlite3 — a byte range of a gzip
stream is not a byte range of a database.

That only works if every query the site issues is index-driven, and
measured against the real 2016 file, most were not:

  so_bao_danh = ?              SEARCH via PK          ~20 KB
  ho_ten_ascii LIKE '%x%'      SCAN                   127 MB
  ho_ten_ascii LIKE 'x%'       SCAN                   127 MB
  COUNT(*)                     covering index scan     20 MB
  ORDER BY toan DESC LIMIT 10  SCAN + temp b-tree     127 MB

Prefix LIKE scans because SQLite's LIKE optimisation needs a NOCASE
index; a range comparison does use the index. So the schema changed to
suit the access pattern rather than the search changing to suit the
schema.

name_word holds one row per word of each name, WITHOUT ROWID so the
table is the index, carrying ho_ten_ascii so a multi-word query is
resolved inside a single b-tree. name_word_freq says which word of a
query is rarest — the vocabulary is 4,397 words across 2.87M entries, so
"buu loc" seeks on 287 entries rather than walking the 300,000 that
"thi" would. Searching by any word of a name survives, at a few hundred
KB a query.

idx_ho_ten and idx_ho_ten_ascii are gone: no plan could use either.
Partial indexes on toan, khtn and khxh cost 12 MB and keep the SQL
presets off a full scan. The footer's candidate count now comes from
datasets.json instead of COUNT(*).

2016 grows 223.5 MB to 288.6 MB, 2017 162.7 MB to 237.7 MB, and the site
is 528 MB against the 1 GB GitHub Pages limit. Row counts are unchanged.

The SQL tab is the one place a user can still write a query that reads
the whole table, so it asks before it opens, runs under a byte budget
that stops a runaway query, and shows what each query actually fetched.

Verified: row counts through the assembler guards, every app query
index-driven under EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN, and GitHub Pages returning 206
with a correct Content-Range. Not verified in a browser — this machine
has none — and the library refuses to open a file the host compresses,
so the deployed response headers need a look.
