feat: Add entity scale benchmark for #115 and #117

Benchmark suite measuring entity performance at scale:
- B1: Entity creation (measures allocation overhead)
- B2: Full iteration (measures cache locality)
- B3: Single range query (measures O(n) scan cost)
- B4: N×N visibility (the "what can everyone see" problem)
- B5: Movement churn (baseline for spatial index overhead)

Key findings at 2,000 entities on 100×100 grid:
- Creation: 75k entities/sec
- Range query: 0.05ms (O(n) - checks all entities)
- N×N visibility: 128ms total (O(n²))
- EntityCollection iteration 60× slower than direct iteration

Addresses #115, addresses #117

"""Entity Performance Benchmark for #115 (SpatialHash) and #117 (Memory Pool)
Target: 10,000 entities on 1000×1000 grid
Goal: Establish baseline metrics for spatial query and memory performance
Scenarios:
B1: Entity creation stress (measures allocation overhead)
B2: Full iteration (measures cache locality)
B3: Single range query (measures current O(n) cost)
B4: N-to-N visibility (the "what can everyone see" problem)
B5: Movement churn (measures update cost for spatial index)
Usage:
cd build && ./mcrogueface --headless --exec ../tests/benchmarks/entity_scale_benchmark.py
Expected output: Baseline timings and projected gains from #115/#117 implementations.
