Performance optimizations: Bundle size reduction

Optimizations implemented:
1. Font display: swap + preload for critical fonts
2. ReactQueryDevtools: Lazy load in dev only, exclude from production
3. Auth forms code splitting: LoginForm, PasswordResetRequestForm
4. Remove invalid swcMinify option (default in Next.js 15)

Results:
- Login page: 178 kB → 104 kB (74 kB saved, 42% reduction)
- Password reset: 178 kB → 104 kB (74 kB saved, 42% reduction)
- Homepage: 108 kB (baseline 102 kB shared + 6 kB page)

Remaining issue:
- 102 kB baseline shared by all pages (React Query + Auth loaded globally)
