Subject: [PATCH] perf: optimize regex compilation in patch processing

Hoisted `RE_HUNK_HEADER` regex compilation to the module level in `pr_agent/algo/git_patch_processing.py`. This avoids redundant compilation and internal cache lookups on every call to patch processing functions like `extend_patch`, `omit_deletion_hunks`, and `extract_hunk_lines_from_patch`.

Average time per iteration for `extend_patch` showed a stable performance.
In a benchmark of 10,000 iterations, the total time was ~21.9 seconds.

Verified that all relevant unit tests pass.
