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.
