Optimization of useTypingEffect.ts to prevent unnecessary effect re-runs and timer churning.

Changes:

Implemented useRef to hold currentText, isDeleting, and isPaused state for access within the timer closure.
Removed currentText from the dependency array of the main timer useEffect.
Split the logic for "switching words" (when deleted) into a separate, lightweight useEffect.
Verified performance improvement using a benchmark test (reduced effect executions from ~13 to 4 for a standard sequence).
Verified functional correctness with existing test suite.
