perf(csr): one-pass n-ary merge, row gather for permuting reindex

 * ``@``/``dot`` against a sparse constant no longer scales with the total number of variables in the model: each chunk of the sparse product now runs on only the variables it uses, which removes several seconds of allocation overhead on models with millions of variables. (`#990 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/pull/990>`__)
 * Deprecated in favour of ``Model(sparse=True)``, each with a ``FutureWarning`` and to be removed with the legacy semantics: ``Model(freeze_constraints=...)`` and the ``Model.freeze_constraints`` setter, ``groupby(...).sum(sparse=...)`` and ``linopy.options["sparse_groupby"]``. They keep their current behaviour until then, except that ``@`` ignores ``sparse_groupby``, and netcdf files that store ``freeze_constraints`` still load. (`#976 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/976>`__)
 * Adding a frozen constraint from a sparse expression no longer copies the lhs matrix when every row stays active, and picks the mask and the row scaling at the active rows without expanding them over the full coordinate grid. This roughly halves the peak memory of ``add_constraints`` on a sparse model. (`#977 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/977>`__)
+* ``linopy.merge`` of several sparse expressions on the same coordinates now adds them in one pass instead of one pairwise sum per operand, and a sparse ``reindex`` that only reorders the existing cells gathers the rows directly instead of rebuilding the matrix. Merging three sparse operands is about 30% faster and such a reindex about 4x faster. (`#1010 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/1010>`__)
 * Building ``Model.matrices`` no longer allocates label-sized scaling lookups and skips ``eliminate_zeros`` for frozen constraints. On a model with 2M variables this makes each build of a sparse or frozen model about 20 to 35 ms faster. (`#1008 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/1008>`__)
 * Freezing a dense constraint builds the CSR matrix directly from the term rectangle and sorts it only when a row has more than one term. On a model with 2M variables this cuts the freeze of the nodal balance from about 465 to 185 ms and its peak memory from 1.74 GB to 0.25 GB. The export of a mutable constraint also no longer copies a strided term array whose terms are mostly zero. (`#1009 <https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/issues/1009>`__)

 Any operation without a sparse branch expands the expression through
 ``.data`` to the mathematically identical dense rectangle in canonical term
 layout; this is valid because v1 semantics do not fix the term layout.
