Optimize AuthService.get_user_id_from_token

The optimized code achieves a **158% speedup** (from 7.10ms to 2.75ms) by replacing the heavy `jwt.decode()` call with a lightweight manual JWT payload extraction.

## Key Optimization

**What changed:** Instead of using the PyJWT library's `jwt.decode()` function (even with `verify_signature=False`), the optimized version manually extracts the JWT payload by:
1. Splitting the token string on dots to isolate the payload segment
2. Adding base64 padding if needed
3. Using `base64.urlsafe_b64decode()` to decode the payload
4. Parsing the JSON with `json.loads()`

**Why it's faster:** The line profiler reveals the bottleneck:
- **Original:** `jwt.decode()` consumed **89.5%** of runtime (69.5ms out of 77.6ms total)
- **Optimized:** The manual extraction steps (`base64` decode + `json.loads`) consume only **59.1%** combined (22.4% + 36.7%), with absolute time reduced to ~14.5ms

The `jwt.decode()` function, even without signature verification, has substantial overhead from:
- Library initialization and validation logic
- Multiple abstraction layers for handling various JWT features
- Extra error checking for JWT-specific edge cases

By directly parsing just the middle segment of the JWT (the payload), the optimized code skips all this machinery.

## Behavior Preservation

The optimization maintains identical behavior:
- Returns the same UUID for valid tokens
- Returns `UUID(int=0)` for all failure cases (malformed tokens, missing 'sub', invalid UUID strings)
- Handles the same exception types (though `binascii.Error` replaces `InvalidTokenError` for decode failures)
- Never verifies signatures (appropriate for this utility function)

## Test Case Performance

All test cases benefit from the optimization since every call avoids the `jwt.decode()` overhead. The speedup is most significant for:
- **High-volume scenarios** like `test_large_scale_mixed_tokens_batch_processing` (200 tokens) where the 3x per-call improvement multiplies
- **Valid token paths** where both implementations do similar work after decode/extraction, making the decode step the dominant factor

## Impact Considerations

Without `function_references`, we cannot definitively determine if this is in a hot path. However, given this is an auth utility likely called on many requests (for logging/debugging per the docstring), the 3x speedup could meaningfully reduce latency in authentication-heavy workloads.
