Add a benchmark for dev Cache Components validation on a worker thread (#96152)

// Dev-validation benchmark. Must be run with tsx (via `pnpm
// bench:dev-validation`).
//
// Measures how much dev-mode Cache Components validation contends for the dev
// server's event loop during rapid navigation, and how much running it on a
// worker thread (`experimental.devValidationWorker`) relieves that.
//
// Workload: for each route family (client / server / sprite) Playwright clicks
// the family's `<Link>` repeatedly. Navigating to the current route re-renders
// and re-validates it, so every click triggers a fresh dev validation (the
// reloop "click Overview repeatedly" case). The routes carry no `instant`
// config; dev validation applies to page segments by default.
//
// Signal: the browser-observed request latency of those navigations, taken from
// Playwright's own network timing (`request.timing()`). We use TTFB
// (`responseStart - requestStart`) because that is the time the browser waits
// for the server, which includes the event-loop queue wait while validation
// monopolizes the loop. The CLI's logged request durations are NOT usable for
// this: the dev server starts that clock inside the request handler (after the
// event loop has already yielded to the request), so the queue wait is
// invisible to it.
//
// By default it runs the A/B on the same build: validation on a worker thread
// (the default) vs in-process (`experimental.devValidationWorker: false`), and
// prints each configuration's absolute TTFB side by side (not a ratio). Pass
// `--worker=true|false` to run a single configuration.
//
// The clicks are back-to-back, so this is a worst case: navigations that land
// inside the validation window, where the in-process path makes them wait for
// the current validation render to finish. The time the worker frees is that
// render's CPU, which is bounded, route-dependent, and does no IO, so it does
// not scale with total request time and largely disappears at human click
// speed. Read these numbers (especially the `max` tail) as an upper bound on a
// dev-only responsiveness gain, not a speedup that generalizes to real apps.
