feat: Replace AI compound name detection with rule-based approach

Eliminates one Anthropic API call entirely by using pattern matching:

- Add 120+ known single-company names (Ernst & Young, M&S, law firms, etc.)
- Detect "/" separator as clear indicator of multiple companies
- Use company suffixes (Ltd, PLC) to identify when "&" means two companies
- Conservative approach: don't split ambiguous cases

Added 40 unit tests for compound name detection covering:
- Known single companies with & and "and"
- Slash-separated company names
- Ambiguous cases
- Edge cases (empty, null, short names)

Estimated savings: ~$0.01 per CV check, 100% elimination of this API call

-        Examples:
-        - "Ernst & Young" → ONE company (it's the full name of the accounting firm)
-        - "Marks & Spencer" → ONE company (it's the full name of the retailer)
-        - "ASDA/WALMART" → TWO companies: ["ASDA", "WALMART"] (person worked at both or it's showing ownership)
-        - "Corus & Laura Ashley Hotels" → TWO companies: ["Corus", "Laura Ashley Hotels"] (different industries)
-        - "PwC" → ONE company
-        - "Deloitte and Touche" → ONE company (historical name of Deloitte)
-        - "BMW Group Ireland" → ONE company
-        - "Tesco Stores and Distribution" → ONE company (departments of same company)
-
-        Rules:
-        1. Well-known company names with "&" or "and" are SINGLE companies (Ernst & Young, Marks & Spencer, Procter & Gamble)
-        2. A "/" usually indicates multiple companies or ownership relationship
-        3. If the parts are in completely different industries, they're likely separate companies
-        4. If one part is clearly a subsidiary/department of the other, treat as ONE company
