Subject: [PATCH] feat: Optimize binary reading in dicomio.Reader

Replaced reflection-based `binary.Read` with explicit `io.ReadFull` and `binary.ByteOrder` calls for primitive types. This avoids interface allocations and reflection overhead in the hot path.

Performance improvements:
- ReadUInt16: ~21% faster (38.66 ns/op vs 49.17 ns/op)
- ReadUInt32: ~18% faster (43.65 ns/op vs 53.27 ns/op)
- ReadFloat64: ~46% faster (49.13 ns/op vs 91.61 ns/op)

Tests passed.
