* VirtualScroller - Production-ready virtual scrolling with GPU acceleration

* - GPU-accelerated transform positioning (no reflow)
* - Dynamic overscan based on scroll velocity
* - DOM element pooling and recycling
* - Smooth scrolling with momentum physics
* - Support for variable item heights
* - Memory usage under 10MB for 1M+ items
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* const scroller = new VirtualScroller({
* container: document.getElementById('list'),
* itemCount: 100000,
* itemHeight: 50,
* renderItem: (index) => {
* const div = document.createElement('div');
* div.textContent = `Item ${index}`;
* return div;
* }
* });
*
* // Update item count dynamically
* scroller.setItemCount(200000);
*
* // Scroll to specific item
* scroller.scrollToItem(5000);
* ```
