perf: reduce memory allocations in bundler linker

Optimize memory allocation patterns in the bundler's linker phase:

1. doStep5.zig: Pre-size local_dependencies HashMap based on expected
   number of parts (capped at 64) to reduce incremental growth allocations

2. findImportedFilesInCSSOrder.zig: Merge two-pass CSS hoisting loop into
   a single pass with pre-sized output buffer, reducing allocations from
   repeated append() calls

3. computeChunks.zig: Add string interning pool for chunk keys to avoid
   duplicate allocations when code splitting produces identical entry bits.
   Also hash entry_bits directly instead of allocating copies just for
   hashing.

Based on Google's performance optimization guide principles for reducing
allocator pressure and cache fragmentation.

-The `telemetry` field permit to enable/disable the analytics records. Bun records bundle timings (so we can answer with data, "is Bun getting faster?") and feature usage (e.g., "are people actually using macros?"). The request body size is about 60 bytes, so it's not a lot of data. By default the telemetry is enabled. Equivalent of `DO_NOT_TRACK` env variable.
+The `telemetry` field is used to enable/disable analytics. By default, telemetry is enabled. This is equivalent to the `DO_NOT_TRACK` environment variable.

+Currently we do not collect telemetry and this setting is only used for enabling/disabling anonymous crash reports, but in the future we plan to collect information like which Bun APIs are used most or how long `bun build` takes.
