Optimized fast_array_util.py through vectorization

The optimized version vectorizes the cumulative trapezoidal integration over blocks, reducing nested loops and handling size normalization for each block efficiently, ensuring the output matches the expected shape.

-    Cumulatively integrate a function over blocks.

     Parameters
     ----------
     f : numpy.ndarray, dtype float
-        Input array to integrate. Shape is (N_freq, N_shells), where

-        of computational shells.
+        Input array to integrate (N_freq, N_shells).

-        The sample points corresponding to the `f` values. Shape is (N_freq,).
+        Sample points corresponding to `f` (1D array, shared across blocks).
